'The people are the most memorable part of Trinity College. I always felt welcome in such a harmonious community. I have had the pleasure of being taught by experienced, helpful teachers, who not only helped in academic situations, but made sure I developed skills that I wouldn’t have normally found in a textbook.' – Tracelyn Victoria Tardjono, October Fast Track 2018
General
In 2019, Trinity College is awarding 40 scholarships that cover 25% or 50% of tuition fees for new Foundation Studies students. Scholarships are awarded competitively on the basis of academic merit. Eligible students will be chosen from each Foundation Studies program, and by their geographic region.
To be eligible, you’ll have excellent high school results, be not permanently living in Australia as a resident, and will need to submit a completed Trinity College Foundation Studies application.
There’s no need to apply for a separate application for scholarship, as your Trinity College application will form the basis of the decision.
Here are the upcoming selection rounds (there are a designated number of scholarships per round):
- November 2019 for the January to March 2020 intakes
- April 2020 for the July 2020 intakes
- May 2020 for the August 2020 intakes
- July 2020 for the October 2020 intakes
Scholarships are awarded prior to an intake commencing only and if you’re successful in being offered a place at Trinity College, you’ll be notified by email within two weeks of the selection round being held.
