Academic Eligibility
The selection process for the Adelaide International Undergraduate Scholarships is competitive, with academic achievement forming the main basis for scholarship selection. As a general guide, the University of Adelaide will consider applicants who have achieved an academic level which is the equivalent of a GPA of 6/7 (85%) for a scholarship.
As the aim of the scholarship program is to attract excellent applicants from a wide range of countries, factors such as country of citizenship and program of study may also be taken into consideration in some cases in the scholarship selection process.

Scholarship holders are expected to enrol in a full time load. A scholarship holder who is considering reducing his or her enrolment load must first consult with staff in the International Student Centre.

-
If a student faces exceptional circumstances requiring him or her to return home they may apply for a one year deferment of enrolment without loss of scholarship, provided this is approved under the student visa requirements.
-
If a student enrols in more than the standard 24 unit load per year, or in any way accrues additional tuition fee liabilities, the additional tuition fees are not covered by the scholarship.

If a student enrols in courses in another institution, including cross-institutional study, those tuition fees are not covered by the scholarship.

If a student is required to repeat a course the student is liable to pay for the tuition fees for the repeated course.
