Australia offers many scholarships for international students. The grant of scholarship
is basically on merit and the students have to demonstrate their eligibility for
the scholarship they are applying for. There are no qualifying exams for scholarships
in Australia. The only exam which the students may have to take is the IELTS to
demonstrate their English language ability.
