Deakin University, Australia

Deakin, in Melbourne and Geelong, runs one of the clearer international scholarship structures in Australia, and it is visible on this page. Its Vice-Chancellor's International Scholarship and the International Scholarship for Excellence target high-achieving international applicants, while the Deakin International Merit Scholarship applies a fixed tuition reduction for students who meet the entry requirements. Most of these are decided from the admission application, so the offer letter and the scholarship decision arrive together.

Research degrees at Deakin are funded through the national Research Training Program, with Deakin as the administering university, and doctoral offers normally carry a stipend on top of fee relief. The university also runs a set of faculty and partner scholarships for specific programs and countries, which appear below with their own rules.

The percentages on Deakin's merit awards make them easy to compare once you know your program, and the funding type on each card tells you whether you are looking at a fee reduction or a full package. Deakin publishes current rounds through its scholarships pages, and the official link on each card leads to the terms and the real deadline.
