The exception may be International students who are completing their undergraduate degree at Victoria and who achieve a GPA of 8.5 or above over 72 points of their nominated major. These students may be considered for additional funding towards their international honours or masters tuition fees. Subject to the approval of the Academic Board, a Victoria Graduate Award may be held with any other award apart from an alternative fees scholarship for which the holder is eligible.
