The Awards celebrate Victoria's innovative education institutions as well as the exceptional accomplishments of international students.
This year, a new category – ‘Victorian Student of the Year – Internationalisation’ – will also recognise domestic students completing an accredited course at a Victorian education provider, who have built international relationships through their academic endeavours. The winner will receive a prize of $5,000 towards their studies and $5,000 towards a practical idea to further foster connections between the domestic and international student communities.
International Student Award winners will receive a scholarship of $10,000 to contribute to their study at an educational institution in Victoria, while the recipient of the 'Premier's Award – International Student of the Year' will receive an additional $10,000 towards their studies.
Recipients will also be recognised as ambassadors of the Victorian Government's Study Melbourne initiative and help promote the State as a leading international student destination.
