The Gadigal Accommodation Scholarship is an accommodation subsidy for recent school leavers who are about to start studying full-time with us. The award reduces your weekly rent to $50 and will give you a guaranteed spot in one of our student accommodation buildings in your first year.
There are also many residential scholarships for first-year students offered in partnership with the Women's College, St John's College and Mandelbaum House.
Our Mana Yura team provides access and support programs to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students throughout your degree.
Established around 1992 as the Koori Centre Research Library, the Wingara Mura Resource Centre started with a small collection of resources for the use of block mode students. The centre holds a unique collection of nearly 7000 items relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and affairs, including rare and out of print materials.
The centre provides other services including access to local and Indigenous newspapers, photocopy and printing facilities and a quiet study area, as well as on-site staff to help you find the items you need. As this is a resource centre, items are not available to borrow or take off-site.
Refer to our guides for more information.
