Description
The China Excellence Scholarship has been established to attract high-performing students to study at the University of Newcastle. This is a merit-based scholarship that recognises International applicants with a strong academic background and incentives them to continue striving to be the best that they can be.

Benefits
The scholarship is valued at AU$10,000 for one year of study of full-time study load (80
units), apportioned over each course taken (pro-rata with an approved load reduction on program plan, credits exemptions, progression or wellbeing grounds).
This equates to AU$1250 per 10-units of study.
This will be administered for each eligible term of study in your eligible program(s) as a tuition fee reduction against the amount of credits initially issued in your letter of offer.
The scholarship benefit will be applied in the form of tuition fee waivers directly into the recipient’s University student account.
