The Alfred Deakin Scholarships in Law were introduced in 2001, the year of celebrations for the centenary of Australian federation. Alfred Deakin, after whom the University is named, was not only Australia's second Prime Minister but also our first Attorney General. Most appropriately, a small number of these new scholarships will be awarded to the highest scoring students admitted to the Bachelor of Laws, as a single degree or combined with another degree - the BA/LLB, BA(International Studies)/LLB, BCom/LLB and BSc/LLB. These scholarships provide up to $2800 per year for four years of an LLB or five years of a combined law degree and the support of an academic mentor from the Law School.
The Faculty offers a scholarship intake for a small number of the most capable and highly motivated students to the Bachelor of Commerce at Deakin's Melbourne Campus at Burwood. Students admitted to the Dean's Scholars Program are given scholarship support of up to $2800 per annum, are prepared for advanced/ honours work, and encouraged to accelerate their program. For Dean's Scholars it will be possible to complete the BCom in two and a half or even two years, as well as graduate with an honours degree far earlier than is generally possible for students at Deakin or other universities. Dean's Scholars enrolling in a BCom (Hons) can apply to extend their scholarship.
Applications to the Dean's Scholars Program should be made through VTAC, listing Deakin Commerce (Dean's Scholars Program) as a separate preference. Students who expect to gain an ENTER of 90 or more are encouraged to apply.

Dean's scholarships are also offered in the Bachelor of Commerce at the Geelong campus at Waurn Ponds and the Warrnambool campus. These scholarships are similar to those at Melbourne, providing up to $2800 per year, awarded at the pro rata rate of $A350 per unit of study, for three years and individual academic mentors. The scholarships will be awarded to students with the highest ENTER score on each of the two campuses who are admitted to the Commerce degree through the normal BCom VTAC entry for those campuses.
A comprehensive list of scholarship opportunities offered by Deakin University is available on the Scholarships web site.
