The University offers thirty ANU Honours Scholarships each year. Four of the scholarships have been named for the late H C Coombs (one of which will be awarded to an applicant of Indigenous Australian origin). Each scholarship is worth $4,000 with an additional allowance of $4,500 for students who transfer their enrolment from outside the ACT to this University for Honours.
The scholarships are available to applicants intending to enrol full-time in the Honours Year of a course of study leading to the award of the degree of Bachelor with Honours or applicants who will be in the final year of a course of study leading to the award of the degree of Bachelor with Honours where the honours component is an integral part of the final year (such as Law, Engineering, Visual Arts and Music).
The scholarships are available to Australian citizens, permanent residents and International students. It is important to note that the an ANU Honours Scholarship may not be held concurrently with any scholarship or award of the same or greater value offered by this University or another source. An ANU Honours Scholarship may be held concurrently with the Youth Allowance. If an applicant is not a student of the University a separate application for admission must be submitted. Selection will be made on academic merit as well as the fields of study in which the candidates have expressed an interest and the availability of appropriate supervision. With the approval of the relevant academic area a successful applicant may commence the Honours Program and take up the scholarship in either the first or second semester of the academic year.
