Scholarships & Awards

ECU's international scholarships reward you financially by assisting you in gaining a world-class education. Our scholarships include academic scholarships that provide you with a reduction of up to 20% off your tuition fees, and bursaries that are paid in specific situations. You can only receive one scholarship at any time, but you can be eligible for both a scholarship and a bursary. Check the terms and conditions to clarify your eligibility. Applying is easy. Our international academic scholarships are assessed at the same time as we assess your application for a course. If you've been successful, our Admissions team will issue a letter relating to your scholarship, as well as a Letter of Offer for your course.
