What scholarships are available for international students applying to the Melbourne MFin program?

A lot of people think only top scorers get scholarships—but that’s not entirely true for Melbourne MFin.
• The Melbourne Graduate Scholarship is common for international students and can offer up to 50% tuition reduction, especially for strong professional profiles.
• If you’ve got a finance-related background or something like CFA Level 1, your chances go up. The selection is holistic, not just GPA-based.
• There’s also the International Postgraduate Coursework Award (IPCA), which covers part of the tuition and is open across faculties—including MFin.
• Some students also get department-level merit awards based on interview and essay strength, even without sky-high grades.
• No need to submit a separate scholarship application for most of these—you're automatically considered once you apply early.
Final tip: reach out to current students or alumni who’ve received scholarships. Some informal support or referrals can go a long way in niche cases.
