Scholarships

One of the most common misconceptions about scholarships is that you have to be top in your class to apply. Melbourne Polytechnic scholarships are awarded on a range of criteria, such as merit, your area of study or personal circumstances.

A scholarship will give you opportunities for personal development and recognition. They look great on your CV and best of all, you won't have to pay them back.

Melbourne Polytechnic scholarships are available to a range of students, so take a look at what scholarships we offer currently. Available scholarships differ from semester to semester and year to year so keep an eye on what may be available to you.

The generous support of our sponsors help to transform the lives of our students.

Applications for 2024 scholarships have now closed. We are currently accepting applications for 2025 scholarships.

The next scholarship application panel will convene after January 13, 2025, and successful applicants will be notified following this date.

If you are applying for a tuition-based scholarship, please proceed with your enrolment as scheduled. Successful scholarship recipients will be eligible for reimbursement. We encourage students not to delay their enrolment while waiting for their scholarship application outcome.

The upfront costs to buy the setup kit appeared to be a major hurdle but on the advice of his caseworker, Julian applied for and won a $500 equipment and materials scholarship.
