International Student Scholarship Program
RGIT Australia offers a range of courses that equip students with skills that enable them to make a meaningful contribution to society. We aim to make the student experience at RGIT Ausstralia as satisfying as possible. To reward students for outstanding academic achievement, RGIT Australia offers its international students the opportunity to apply for scholarships. These scholarships provide tuition fee waivers to a level that is decided by the Scholarship Committee.
Scholarships are available to students who intend to study a course in:
- Business
- Leadership and Management
- Community Services
- Hospitality
- IT
The Scholarship Committee will manage the selection and allocation of funds. Tuition funds are disbursed directly to RGIT Australia on behalf of the RGIT Australia scholarship recipient.

Further, applicants must prepare a one-page report in support of their application which:
- addresses the above points, and
- outlines why they believe they are most deserving of receiving the scholarship.
