4 Australian universities with scholarships for international students

With Australia reopening its borders, international students are relieved that they can soon travel to Australia and move forward with their studies after waiting for some 20 months.

The country is known as a bastion of higher education but international students often pay double or triple the fees that domestic students do. To cut costs, there are plenty of scholarships that will help cover the cost of tuition and accommodation.

Here are four Australian universities that offer scholarships for international students when you travel to Australia next year:
