Definition of a sponsored student

A student is classified by RMIT University as a sponsored student if:

• Their tuition fees are paid by an external organization, such as a university or government agency (not individuals); and
• RMIT University bills the sponsor directly for the tuition fees.
• We may also accept financial guarantees from sponsors where the fund comes directly to the students from the sponsor to pay their tuition fees.

As a service to both scholarship recipients, and their sponsors, RMIT University RMIT International has a dedicated team to support the recipient (student) and the sponsor.
