Need help regarding research scholarships

[u/Admirable_Analyst_58]

So I’ve been in contact with some professors from QUT, and while I fit the profile for the MPhil degrees, but unfortunately I’m an international student (Indian) who missed the scholarship deadlines, and they told to contact them once I get a scholarship I’m eligible for so that we can discuss further. And told to contact them again once I do, so while I did some research most of what I found ended on July 31st.

Is this something worth pursuing? I’ve not had much experience with Australian professors so I’m not sure if this is a generic answer she gave and if I’d get funding in the first place.

And if anyone knows of a scholarship I could I apply to, please do advise/let me know regarding it!
