Swinburne's own course page publishes two '2026 tuition fees' blocks: a Commonwealth Supported Place (domestic) rate of AUD 9,537/year (AUD 28,611 total), and this AUD 42,600/year figure, which the page states directly afterward applies to international students ('The indicative course fees shown apply to international students for the relevant year, based on a standard study load per year'). Fees generally include the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) already. Swinburne also states it automatically considers every applicant for an international scholarship of up to 20% off course fees.

Swinburne International Scholarship (2027)
20 percent off tuition fees for the standard course duration, from the course start date to the end date stated in the letter of offer. It applies to tuition fees only, not to practicum training, Overseas Student Health Cover or other non-tuition costs.
Eligibility: For international students (Australian and New Zealand citizens and Australian permanent residents are not eligible) commencing study for the first time in 2027 at Swinburne's Hawthorn campus in an undergraduate course, a postgraduate course, or a pathway course. Applicants must meet any course or scholarship-specific entry requirements and must not hold another Swinburne or external tuition fee scholarship or reduced fee arrangement at the same time. No separate application — Swinburne considers applicants automatically on the grades of their previous study, and confirms the outcome in the letter of offer.
Swinburne states plainly that "This scholarship is a merit-based scholarship", and that applicants are considered "based on the grades of your previous study" — a claim about selection, with no financial-need element, so merit rather than both. Excluded courses are the Bachelor of Aviation and Piloting (including double degrees), the Master of Physiotherapy and Master of Occupational Therapy, and research masters and doctorates; none is on StudyPath. Swinburne publishes an equivalent 2026 version of the same award; the 2027 round is cited.

George Swinburne International Excellence Scholarship (2027)
30 percent off tuition fees for the standard course duration, from the course start date to the end date stated in the letter of offer. Tuition fees only.
Eligibility: For international students commencing an undergraduate or postgraduate course at Swinburne's Hawthorn campus for the first time in 2027. Applicants must meet any course or scholarship-specific entry requirements and must not hold another Swinburne or external tuition fee scholarship or reduced fee arrangement at the same time. Considered automatically on the grades of previous study; the outcome is confirmed in the letter of offer.
Swinburne says this award "will recognise a student's high academic performance", and its page states that international scholarship candidates are assessed "based on the grades of your previous study" — achievement, with no hardship element, so merit. Same exclusions as the Swinburne International Scholarship (Aviation and Piloting, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, research degrees), none of which is on StudyPath. Where a student qualifies for more than one Swinburne tuition arrangement, Swinburne applies the most favourable one.

Swinburne ELICOS+ Scholarship
A refund equal to 10 weeks of ELICOS tuition fees, deducted from tuition fees across the first three semesters of the undergraduate or postgraduate coursework course, once the ELICOS course is finished and the principal course has started.
Eligibility: For international students applying for a Swinburne English language course (ELICOS) packaged with an undergraduate or postgraduate coursework course, who do not yet satisfy the English language requirement of their principal Swinburne course.
Basis left unset: eligibility turns entirely on not yet meeting the English language requirement, which is neither an achievement test nor a financial-need test. Recorded as a fee refund rather than a percentage, so no coveragePercentage.
