Yes, several Australian universities list scholarships that Indian public health students can use. Monash offers study grants of AUD 5,000, 10,000 or 15,000 (approx INR 3.35L to 10.05L), and Deakin gives a 20 percent tuition reduction. Confirm your course and the next round on each page.
Yes, Indian students can find scholarships for public health study in Australia, though most are partial tuition reductions rather than full funding. Eligibility and rounds change, so treat the figures below as what the universities have published and confirm them.
Australian university scholarships relevant to a Master of Public Health
| University | Scholarship | Value and rule |
|---|---|---|
| University of Sydney | Public Health Asia Pacific Scholarship | Partial tuition award for international students who are Indian citizens; See the official page for the current value, because Sydney's pages show different figures |
| University of Sydney | Sydney Scholars India Equity Scholarship | Up to AUD 100,000 (approx INR 66.97L), but for one exceptional student a year from low-income Delhi communities supported by the ASHA Society, so most applicants will not qualify |
| Edith Cowan University | International Excellence Scholarship | A 20 percent tuition reduction was listed for the Master of Public Health in recent cycles; the 2026 window closed on 8 August 2026, so check the next cycle |
| Monash University | International Study Grant | AUD 5,000 (approx INR 3.35L), AUD 10,000 (approx INR 6.70L) or AUD 15,000 (approx INR 10.05L), assessed automatically for applicants from India; some courses are excluded |
| Deakin University | International 20% Merit Scholarship | 20 percent tuition reduction; a 60 percent average is listed for Indian citizens living in India applying for postgraduate study |
Steps to take before you rely on a scholarship
- Open each scholarship page and confirm that the Master of Public Health is an eligible course.
- Check whether the award is automatic after an offer or needs a separate application.
- Look at the application window; several 2026 rounds have already closed, so plan for the next cycle.
- Compare the saving against total tuition, because a 20 percent cut still leaves a large fee.
- Check whether you can hold more than one award, since Monash grants are not available alongside other scholarships that pay your fees.
My Advice
Build your shortlist around the scholarship rule first and the ranking second. Apply to at least one university with an automatic award, so that your funding plan does not depend on a single competitive round.
