5 Fully Funded Undergraduate Scholarships for International Students

Upon graduation, many senior-year high school students have difficulties in deciding whether they should continue their studies by going to college or go straight into seeking jobs and start taking full responsibilities of their own lives. This dilemma may be caused by a lot of things. One of the most common factors is financial problems. As we all know, many higher education institutions have high tuition fees, yet paying tuition fees are not the only thing we need money for. Luckily, thanks to the generous governments, profit and non-profit organizations, and foundations around the world, there is a way to solve that problem. Many organizations, foundations and the governments around the world provide programs or make donations to offer scholarships, including full scholarships to study abroad. Many of the various scholarship programs offer fully funded undergraduate scholarships for international students who wish to experience what it’s like to study in a different country. Below are some of the most prestigious scholarship programs for international students, that offer full scholarships for undergraduate studies.

  1. Australia Awards Scholarships

Australia Awards Scholarships are long-term awards administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. They aim to contribute to the development needs of Australia’s partner countries in line with bilateral and regional agreements. They provide opportunities for people from developing countries, particularly those countries located in the Indo-Pacific region, to undertake fully funded undergraduate or postgraduate study at participating Australian universities and Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutions.

Australia Awards Scholarships are offered for the minimum period necessary for the individual to complete the academic program specified by the Australian higher education institution, including any preparatory training. The following benefits generally apply:

  • Full tuition fees
  • Return air travel – payment of a single return, economy class airfare to and from Australia, via the most direct route
  • Establishment allowance – a once only payment as a contribution towards accommodation expenses, text books, study materials
  • Contribution to Living Expenses (CLE) – a fortnightly contribution to basic living expenses paid at a rate determined by the department
  • Introductory Academic Program (IAP) – a compulsory program prior to the commencement of formal academic studies covering information on living and studying in Australia
  • Overseas Students Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of the award (for award holder only) – provided to cover the scholar’s basic medical costs (with the exception of pre-existing conditions)
  • Pre-course English (PCE) fees
  • Supplementary academic support may be available to ensure a scholar’s academic success or enhance their academic experience
  • Fieldwork (for research awards and Master’s by coursework which have a research component where fieldwork is compulsory)

  1. Wells Mountain Initiative (WMI)

WMI supports undergraduate students obtaining degrees in community-oriented fields, and encourages them to be the agents of change in their own communities, nations and the world. WMI goes beyond providing financial support, ensuring its scholars have all the tools needed to reach their dreams.

WMI provides education scholarships to highly motivated and ambitious youth pursuing undergraduate degrees in regions with little or no financial resources. WMI currently supports students in 42 countries, who are pursuing degrees in various study fields including medicine and health sciences, community development, education, law, agriculture, social work, business, information technology and engineering.

WMI seeks students from a developing country who:

  • Successfully completed a secondary education, with good to excellent grades
  • Will be studying in their country or another country in the developing world
  • Plans to live and work in their own country after graduation
  • Have volunteered prior to applying for this scholarship and/or are willing to volunteer while receiving the WMI scholarship
  • May have some other funds available for their education, but will not be able to go to school without a scholarship

WMI awards 20-40 scholarships per year. Each scholarship supports tuition and fees, books and materials, and other related costs. The scholarship award lasts throughout the entire duration of the scholar’s undergraduate study.
