Undergraduate Scholarships

If you are planning to study at Murdoch or already enrolled here chances are there is a scholarship you can apply for. The majority of scholarships for undergraduate students aim to provide financial assistance for those in hardship, like the Murdoch Senate Scholarship. There are also scholarships for individual courses like Law and Nursing, and for specific personal circumstances such as where you live - or where you want to live!

Scholarships are not loans, once you’ve been paid it is yours to keep and spend on whatever you need. You are strongly encouraged to apply for as many scholarships as you find you are eligible for. Application opening and closing times vary according to the scholarship, and there are new scholarships all the time so keep your eye on the web pages for the most up to date information.
