One application multiple scholarships:

When applying direct to Deakin for these scholarships, select either the ‘Undergraduate Scholarship Application Tri/Sem 1 2024‘ or the ‘Postgraduate Scholarship Application Tri/Sem 1 2024‘ option and, if eligible, your application will automatically be considered for this scholarship. At the same time your application will also be considered for other scholarships that you are eligible for in the selection process.

This reduces the number of scholarships you have to apply for and increases your chance of receiving a Deakin scholarship.
