The University of Queensland automatically assesses every international student who applies to study full-time in 2027 for the UQ International Excellence Scholarship — there is no application form. High-achieving offer holders receive a 25% tuition fee reduction every semester for their entire program, across all study areas at undergraduate and postgraduate coursework level.
Why it is notable: A genuine "apply for admission, get assessed automatically" award covering ALL fields and both undergraduate and postgraduate coursework — but it's competitive (a competitive score among the offer-holder pool), and you lose it if you already hold another UQ tuition reduction or a full external sponsorship.
