Scholarship applications

You can apply for most scholarships through the Scholarship Application Portal.

Scholarship applications vary in availability. To see which scholarship applications are available at any point in time, use the Find a scholarship tool.

Course and single-unit applications

• Course applications and single unit applications  are now made through a new application system, the Deakin Application Portal.
• International course applications are made through Deakin's StudyLink Connect system.
• Cross-institutional study (single units for students of other universities)
• Higher Degree by Research
• NIKERI Institute applications
• Doctor of Medicine (via GEMSAS)

Upon entering the application portal for the first time, you'll need to register or enter your applicant ID and password.

If you're starting an application, the next step is to select the 'apply' tab. You then need to indicate if you are applying for a scholarship. Then simply work through the questions.

You should receive an email acknowledging that your application has been submitted within a few minutes of submitting it. Check your spam folders if you can’t find it in your inbox.

You can also log back into the Scholarship Application Portal and select ‘Your Applications’. Then, select on the ‘Submitted Applications’ heading and you’ll see the list of any course and scholarship applications you've submitted.

Any applications that haven’t yet been submitted can also be seen here.

Your responses to questions are saved each time you progress from one page to the next when inside the Scholarship Application Portal.

If you need to revisit an application, just select 'Your Applications', then select the application from the list. Only non-submitted applications can be amended.

Each time you open a session in the Scholarship Application Portal but don't submit it, the system saves that entry.

You should select the application from the non-submitted application list and complete or amend one, rather than starting a new one. Non-submitted applications are periodically removed from the system when the application period has closed.
