Scholarships

We offer a range of scholarships and bursaries tailored to meet the diverse needs and circumstances of our students.

Some of our courses require specific equipment, periods of unpaid compulsory industry/field placements or students studying online who will need to travel for a residential school – being a scholarship recipient can assist with these costs, making your student life just that little bit easier.

Scholarships can also assist you to balance your employment/family responsibilities/study loads, taking some pressure off the finances and allowing more time to focus on your studies.

We believe a quality education can be for everyone – regardless of background, location, or life circumstances. That’s why we offer a variety of scholarships and bursaries to cater for all student needs. This can include financial support to assist with living expenses, and non-deferrable costs such as textbooks, uniforms, technology, course-specific equipment, travel costs associated with compulsory residential schools and unpaid placement, accommodation, and general living expenses such as rent, groceries and fuel.

Whether you’re a commencing student or continuing your studies, receiving a scholarship can help balance your studies and life commitments. A scholarship looks good on your resume and may open the door to industry networks and work experience opportunities.

The application form relevant to your scholarship of interest is found in the “Apply Now” section of the scholarship page.

Part of the application process is a written submission, about 500 words or one A4 typed page outlining how a scholarship will assist with your studies.

If you wish to apply for multiple scholarships, you will only need to apply once for each category (Donor Funded, HEPPP, and Indigenous).  It’s easy to identify the application category, as all scholarships contain that in the name.

Scholarship applications are opened twice per year, prior to Term 1 and prior to Term 2.

If previous applications have been unsuccessful, have another go!

Term 1 Scholarships generally begin opening in October of the year prior and close in January.

Term 2 Scholarships have a considerably shorter application period, generally opening in early May and closing in early June.

For future students, closing dates may occur before you have been offered a place of study with the university.

Depending on the type of scholarship you may think you qualify for, you may need to provide further documentation to support your application. The online application system will help you identify these documents and you can attach them in the system.

Documents relating to financial income and/or disability are strictly confidential and only used at the initial stage of the assessment process to identify which scholarships you are eligible for.

Please monitor the email address you have used for your initial application as we’ll use this address to communicate with you if we need any further information or if some documents are missing.

Any request for further information needs to be responded to and received prior to the closing date of scholarship applications. Late responses will not be considered.
