The Melbourne Undergraduate Scholarships Program is one of the most generous and comprehensive programs
in Australia. The program recognises the outstanding achievement of students from across Victoria, interstate and
overseas.
The University of Melbourne also acknowledges a special responsibility to provide higher education access to
those students who might otherwise be excluded by socioeconomic, cultural, geographic and/or other circumstances.
Up to 200 Melbourne Access Scholarships
are also on offer to Indigenous Australians and students from a broad range of equity groups who
have experienced ongoing circumstances which impact on their preparation for university study.
