Indigenous Study Support Bursary

Scholarship applications for Semester 1, 2025 are now open and will close on 30 November 2024.
All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by close of business, 28 February 2025.

The Indigenous Study Support Bursary aims to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and provides financial assistance to offset the costs associated with tertiary study that can have a significant impact on a student's ability to further their education.

Each bursary will be valued at $2,500 and is paid to the recipient as equal fortnightly instalments in Semester 1 of the relevant year. Part-time and full-time recipients are eligible for the full bursary value (pro-rata will not be applied to part-time enrolment).

 

Please Note:  This scholarship is offered on a yearly basis through funds provided by an external donor. If funding is not available in any given year, the scholarship will not be awarded.
