About scholarships

Scholarships provide meaningful support to students while helping the University advance its commitment to access, participation and student success.

Notre Dame scholarships are made possible through a combination of University funding, philanthropic support and partnerships with individuals, organisations and other stakeholders.

Whether you are interested in establishing a scholarship, supporting students through an existing scholarship, or learning more about how scholarships are managed at Notre Dame, the information below provides an overview of our approach.

Impact of scholarships

Scholarships can make a significant difference to a student's experience at university - from reducing financial pressure and helping students remain engaged in their studies, to supporting opportunities such as professional placements and research.
