Selection criteria
The Melbourne Mobility Awards are awarded for the specific purpose of the scholarship.
Eligible applicants who are Chancellor’s Scholars, Kwong Lee Dow Scholars, or Commerce Achievement Scholarship recipients will receive one Melbourne Global Scholars Award in their undergraduate degree.
Other merit awards are offered to eligible applicants based on academic achievement using the University’s Weighted Average Mark (WAM). You must have results for subjects in your course at the time of application. Where the number of candidates exceeds the number of scholarships available, the scholarships will be awarded to students with the highest WAM.
Access scholarships are offered to eligible applicants based on demonstrated social, educational and financial disadvantage.
