Ryan is also a recipient of the University’s International Undergraduate Scholarship. A scholarship awarded to high achieving international students in acknowledgement of their excellent academic results.

“The University of Melbourne is a great university where students can meet interesting people from diverse backgrounds, including many esteemed professors. We hope our son will make the most of this rare opportunity,” his parents explain.
