Macquarie University in Sydney has made some major announcements for Indian students looking to pursue their studies in Australia. They have launched their 'Early Acceptance Scholarship', which provides a maximum of AUD 40,000 towards the cost of tuition fees.

This scholarship is for encouraging high-achieving Indian students who are applying for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in 2025 and 2026.

Macquarie will cover AUD 10,000 per annum in terms of the scholarship, which would be valid for all coursework degree offerings at its Sydney campus, according to a press release by the University.
