Yes, scholarships are available for studying in both Australia and New Zealand, and they can help reduce tuition fees or cover living expenses.

- In Australia, university-specific scholarships for international students typically start from AUD 5,000/year. Some government-funded options, like the Australia Awards, cover full tuition and living costs, but these are highly competitive.
- In New Zealand, scholarships also vary by university and program. For example, awards like the University of Auckland International Student Excellence Scholarship can offer up to NZD 10,000 towards tuition. Some research scholarships provide higher amounts, including stipends and full fee waivers.

Scholarship amounts and availability are subject to change each year.
