Domestic undergraduate scholarships form

Apply for a range of scholarships through one application form
We're dedicated to supporting you throughout your time at university. We offer a wide variety of scholarships for domestic undergraduate students. To make the process easier, we've created a centralised form where you can be considered from a pool of $1.5 million worth of scholarships through one simple application.
