How to Apply for an ANU Scholarship
If you want a scholarship at the Australian National University (ANU), you first need to apply for a degree program. After that, you can apply for specific scholarships—like the Tuckwell Scholarship—by filling out a separate form that ANU will email to you once they see you’re interested. Most scholarships also ask for documents such as school transcripts, a personal statement, and recommendation letters.
- Apply for an ANU Program
Start with the ANU Direct Application: Choose the course you want to study and submit the online form.
Show your interest in scholarships: While filling out the application, tick the box or section that says you’d like to be considered for scholarships.
Wait for an email invite: If a scholarship needs a separate form, ANU will usually email you a link a few days later.
- Fill Out the Scholarship Form
Use the link in the email to open the scholarship application (for example, the Tuckwell form).
Share details about yourself—your grades, activities outside school, and why you’re a good fit.
- Prepare Your Documents
You may need to upload:
Academic transcripts or report cards
A copy of your passport or ID
A statement of purpose (why you want the scholarship)
Recommendation letters from teachers or mentors
Any test scores they ask for (SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.)
- Know the Stages & Deadlines
Some scholarships, such as Tuckwell, have more than one round, so be ready for follow-up questions or extra forms.
Always check and meet the deadlines—late applications won’t be accepted.
