Access and Equity (Growth) Scholarships
Growth scholarships are available for students who are ineligible for government funding.
These scholarships cover a wide range of vocational areas and different qualification levels across our teaching departments. Scholarships awarded contribute towards course fees and materials fees for one year of study.
Applicants awarded a Growth Scholarship will pay only $1,250 for the tuition fee for one year of study.
In order to apply for the Growth Scholarships program, all applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria as at 1st January 2012:
- must be ineligible for government subsidised funding under Skills Reform; and
- must be an Australian citizen or holder of a Permanent Humanitarian Visa; and
- must be able to demonstrate socio economic disadvantage and financial hardship;
Please note that scholarship application does not guarantee you a place in the course of your choice. The usual processes for course application, selection and enrolment apply. Recipients of workplace sponsorship or of another current scholarship are not eligible to apply.
Applications will be assessed on
- financial hardship and social disadvantage;
- vocational suitability;
- commitment to educational achievement; and
- objectives of study.
Materials and other costs must still be borne by the student.
