How do I apply for a scholarship?

UPDATED 29 OCT 2026 | 2:21AM

Current students

The scholarship application process is completed online. Current student scholarship applications generally open in January and close in March for Semester 1 scholarships, and open in June and close in August for Semester 2 scholarships, however some scholarships for current students run at various times throughout the year. Once scholarships are open, the link to the online form will be available on each scholarship information page via the Scholarships website.

Future students

Most scholarships can be applied for online. Some of our future student scholarships (for example the Curtin Excellence Scholarship) do not require an application. More information can be found on the Scholarships website.

Email alerts

You may also wish to sign up for the Scholarships email alert service and receive an email alert whenever a scholarship that matches your criteria is opened for applications. You will also receive a reminder email one week before applications close.

If you're still not sure feel free to contact the Scholarships team directly on any of the below options, depending on what type of Scholarship it is:
