The Curtin Global Talent Scholarship is a Curtin University award: a one-off AUD$10,000 credit against tuition fees.
It is for international students who began their degree at a Curtin global campus or a recognised offshore joint program, or who come on non-degree exchange or study abroad, and who start at a Curtin campus in Western Australia in 2027 for at least a year. There is no separate application: course applicants are assessed automatically.

- Revoked if your citizenship changes, or if you hold another Curtin or Australian government scholarship.
Eligibility
- International, full fee-paying, non-sponsored student of any nationality except Australian.
