We offer a range of domestic and international scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate students at UNSW School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Many of these engineering scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, but some are based on personal circumstances, including financial need. 

Our UNSW scholarships remove some pressure from the university experience, allowing you to focus on your studies and participate in campus life.
