Australia also has really good scholarships!
2026 scholarships you should know about
If you’ve been working for a while and think scholarships are only for fresh graduates, let me introduce you to the Australian Awards.
This one is designed specifically for professionals.
What it covers:
Full tuition.
Living expenses: AUD 30,000 per year (about AUD 2,500/month).
Return flights to Australia.
Health insurance.
Establishment allowance when you arrive.
When it opens: Applications for 2027 entry open in February 2026 and close in April 2026. A very short window.
Who can apply for this scholarship:
Minimum 25 years old
At least 5 years of post-graduate work experience
Must be currently employed
Master’s degree programs only
Here’s what makes the Australian Awards different: they don’t want fresh graduates. They want people who’ve been working, who understand real problems in their field, and who plan to go back and use their degree to make things better.
The requirement most people trip on: You need 5 years of work experience after your bachelor’s degree. Not internships. Not part-time gigs during school. Full work experience.
But if you have that, you’re exactly who they’re looking for.
And if you’re wondering how to show them you’re worth investing in, that’s what I’ll teach you this Saturday in my webinar: Winning Scholarships in 2026.
You’ll learn:
How to identify which scholarships match your profile (so you don’t waste time on ones you’ll never get).
How to take your everyday work experience and frame it like “world-class talent”.
A curated list of 50 scholarships opening in 2026, including Australian Awards and others you’ve never heard of.

Important: I’m not running my usual Scholarship Accelerator Bootcamp in 2026. This Saturday’s webinar is your chance to get the strategies, frameworks, and scholarship list you need to apply successfully this year.
Limited spots. I want to keep it small so I can answer your questions live.

P.S. Australian scholars are required to return home for at least 2 years after the scholarship. So if you’re planning to japa permanently, this isn’t the one. But if you want a world-class education and plan to come back, it’s perfect.
