What is the minimum CGPA required to be eligible for scholarships at Australian universities?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Mohit Tanna · 1 min read
It depends on the university and scholarship, but most Australian merit-based scholarships require a minimum CGPA of 6.5 - 7.0 on a 10-point scale. Some universities may accept lower scores; for example, Griffith University considers a GPA of 4.5+, and Deakin University typically looks for 65% or higher in prior studies.
Requirements can vary widely by program and institution. Strong academics, English proficiency, and extracurriculars all help your chances.
