Accommodation scholarships
Set amidst natural bushland, the six Griffith University Residential Colleges provide clean, comfortable and safe accommodation for over 900 students. About a third of the residential population is made up of international students who have come from over 30 different countries. As part of a supportive, culturally diverse community, you will have an ideal opportunity to learn about and to share cross-cultural experiences.
