Financial assistance

Looking for financial support to get through your course? We offer bursaries and interest-free loans to help with essential study and living costs.

Bursaries

What are bursaries?

A bursary is a type of scholarship awarded on the basis of financial need, designed to help cover essential living and study expenses. Bursaries cannot be used to fund overseas travel or tuition fees.

Bursaries are awarded to eligible full time students on the basis of financial need, through trusts set up by private benefactors or the University.

Available bursaries

There are two types of bursaries available:

  1. general bursaries and 
  2. advertised bursaries

Interest-free loans

We offer interest-free loans up to $2000 for full-time domestic and international students in need of assistance with essential living and study expenses.

Loans are typically repaid within 12 months or before graduation, as agreed in writing at approval. For students in the final stages of specific postgraduate degrees, repayment can start after graduation.
