10 Considerations before applying

Please consider personal financial circumstances before applying as the scholarship recipient will be responsible for paying all additional costs associated with their approved course, above the amount awarded by the department. Additional fees the scholarship recipient may need to cover will vary depending on the course but may include student services amenities fees, repeat and enrolment reinstatement fees, document fees, photocopying and printing fees, etc.

Make sure you discuss any additional costs that you may be responsible for with the education provider.

Where a scholarship includes financial support, other than course fees scholarship recipients can decide how best to use the balance of their scholarship funds to support their studies.

The scholarship amounts listed in these guidelines are ex GST. Please seek independent advice regarding the impact of a scholarship on taxation and Government benefit schemes, including, but not limited to, those administered through Centrelink.
