Adelaide Refugee & Humanitarian Postgraduate Coursework Scholarship

The Adelaide Refugee & Humanitarian Postgraduate Coursework Scholarships have been established in recognition of the financial hardships that are faced by students from a refugee background and will support these students to fulfil their aspiration of studying at the University of Adelaide.

The Adelaide Refugee and Humanitarian Postgraduate Coursework Scholarships provide a 100% tuition fee & Student Services & Amenities Fee (SSAF) Scholarship for students commencing postgraduate coursework programs in Semester 1, 2023 who have not previously undertaken any University study in Australia.

To be eligible to be considered for the Adelaide Refugee & Humanitarian Postgraduate Coursework Scholarship, applicants must:

• gain admission to a postgraduate coursework program of study commencing in Semester 1, 2023 (i.e. hold a Letter of Offer, and meet any academic and English language proficiency conditions outlined in that Letter of Offer); and
• be holders of a Bridging Visa E (BVE) or Temporary Protection Visa (subclass 785) or Safe Haven Enterprise Visa (SHEV); and
• be able to provide evidence of their financial capacity to support themselves through study.

If required, applicants will be ranked by academic achievement and preference will be given to South Australian residents.

The Scholarship must be taken up in the year in which it is offered; acceptance of the Scholarship offer cannot be deferred. If a student declines the Scholarship offer, the Scholarship will be offered to the next eligible student.

Applicants may only apply for this Scholarship once they have received a Letter of Offer from the University of Adelaide, and have met any academic and English language proficiency conditions outlined in that Letter of Offer.

Applicants who have not met all conditions outlined in their Letter of Offer before the Scholarship Application closing date will not be considered for the Scholarship. Applicants who need to undertake an IELTS or other English language test accepted by the University are encouraged to book into a test at the earliest opportunity.
