The University of Western Australia's Global Excellence Scholarship is an automatic tuition fee discount for high-achieving international students commencing an eligible undergraduate or postgraduate qualification. Depending on your academic results, you receive a 10% or 20% discount on annual tuition fees for the full duration of your course. It is a partial award — it covers tuition only, not living costs.
Why it is notable: No separate scholarship application is stated on the official page — eligibility is assessed through the course admission itself, with exact ATAR/WAM thresholds published for the 2027 intake.
