Griffith University is a public university in South East Queensland, Australia. It was established in 1971, but officially commenced operations in 1975. The university introduced Australia’s first degrees in environmental science and Asian studies.
The International Student Academic Excellence Scholarship is a partly funded scholarship available for outstanding international students from around the world applying for undergraduate and postgraduate coursework programs at Griffith University.
Students must be enrolled full-time and making progress in their studies. They are also expected to meet their student visa requirements and meet the requirements of their program of study to receive and maintain the scholarship unless credit prevents full-time enrolment.
To maintain scholarship eligibility, students must pass all courses for each trimester of study and successfully progress to enroll in the next trimester. A minimum cumulative GPA of 5.5 on a 7.0 grading scale must be maintained annually to qualify for the following year fee deductions. Should a student withdraw or cancel for any reason, the scholarship amount is non-refundable.
Tuition Fees
The tuition fees that students pay to study at Griffith University, Australia, vary depending on the course. However, on average, the cost of studying at the institution is between AUD21,200 and AUD29,000.

Scholarship Benefits
The Griffith University Scholarship covers 25% of the tuition fees for undergraduate or postgraduate programs. This is applicable only for the duration of the eligible program if you meet the enrolment requirements. If a student is awarded a Griffith international student scholarship worth more than 25% of tuition fees, the scholarship at the higher value will apply rather than this scholarship.
