Can I apply for scholarships to help with course fees and living expenses?

You can apply for scholarships to help you with study and living costs.

We offer scholarships to low income students, Indigenous Australians and women, as well as people who've excelled in previous study or work.

Each course lists the scholarships you can apply for, or you can check the list of all scholarships for undergraduate students.

You usually need to apply separately for scholarships, so make sure you check the application requirements and closing dates.

You should apply for as many scholarships as you're eligible for. If more than one of your applications is successful, you'll be awarded the scholarship that you're best suited to.

We also offer scholarships that you can apply for during your course. These scholarships can provide financial support and access to opportunities like exchange programs and specific projects.
