UTAS Tasmania Scholarships:
There are two types of scholarships available:

The closing dates for these are October 31 and June 30 for the following semesters respectively. UTAS students must apply to participate as an exchange student with one of UTAS’ formal exchange partners to be eligible for an Overseas Student Exchange scholarship. Awarding of scholarships is based on merit and the quality of the exchange application.

An exchange student can receive more than one scholarship. That is, a UTAS student can apply for and be awarded a scholarship from their Faculty as well as the Overseas Student Exchange Scholarship. However, if a UTAS student receives a scholarship from their Faculty, the Overseas Student Exchange Scholarship amount awarded will be reduced.
