Deferral conditions vary from scholarship to scholarship and are usually stated on your scholarship offer.
If you hold a major coursework scholarship (starting with ‘Melbourne’ in the scholarship title), you're able to defer your scholarship offer to the following year. This is done automatically when you defer your course offer.
If you hold a Melbourne Research Scholarship or Research Training Program Scholarship, your scholarship can only be deferred with prior approval from your faculty.
If you're still unsure if you can defer your offer, please submit a scholarships enquiry.
