KBS High Achievers Scholarship 2026

The Kaplan Business School (KBS) High Achievers Scholarship rewards academically strong students with a reduction on their tuition fees for the duration of their chosen course. It's open to domestic (Australian/NZ) and international students alike, across KBS's Business, IT, Accounting, Business Analytics, and Business Administration programs, at the Diploma, Bachelor's, Master's, Graduate Certificate, and Graduate Diploma level — including the MBA and its specialisations.

For Indian students, this is one of the more accessible KBS scholarships to plan around because it isn't tied to a specific home region — it's judged purely on your academic record. It's worth comparing against KBS's separate South Asia International Student Scholarship, which is region-specific rather than merit-based; Subraxo will cover that as its own listing so readers can weigh both side by side.

Unlike a standalone scholarship application, there's no separate portal or form to fill for this one. You apply for it at the same time you apply to your KBS course — by indicating the scholarship on your course application and attaching your academic transcripts as supporting documents.

To qualify for the High Achievers Scholarship, applicants must:

• Hold a strong academic record, benchmarked against KBS's published table for the intake year:
• • 65% average from a university ranked in the global top 100 (QS or Times Higher Education)
  • 75% average from any Australian university/higher education institute, or from a university outside Australia ranked in the global top 800
  • ATAR of 80+ for Australian high-school leavers applying to a KBS Bachelor's program
• Meet KBS's English-language proficiency requirement for the course, either already or before the course starts
• Not be receiving any other KBS scholarship, award, or promotion at the same time
• Hold a full-time offer of admission into an eligible KBS diploma, bachelor's, or master's program
• Submit the scholarship request as part of the course application - not as a separate application - and do so before accepting the Offer of Admission

Partial Funding , Tuition fee reduction

• A tuition fee reduction of roughly 30% on the total course fee, applied for the full duration of the program (the exact rupee/dollar value depends on which course you enrol in - see the table below for reference figures)
• Recognition as a KBS scholarship recipient, which past recipients have used to build networks with peers and industry professionals during their time at KBS
• Applies across a wide range of postgraduate and undergraduate KBS programs, so Indian students have flexibility in which course they can apply the scholarship to
