Scholarship Application and Financial Need Assessment
You are requested to complete 2 separate steps. The Student Financial Assistance Application will have a different closing date as it is managed centrally (not by this Faculty). Please allow enough time to complete both forms. You will still be considered for this scholarship without the Student Financial Assistance Application, but it is your best interest to complete both forms to significantly maximise your opportunity for funding. You only complete Step 2 once per year (unless you wish to update your financial details).
PLEASE NOTE: Step 2 (the Student Financial Assistance Application) is not compulsory for consideration to these Faculty scholarships. It is just in your best interests to complete it. Please still apply for this scholarship (this form you are already viewing) even if you don't intend to complete a separate Financial Assistance form.
Step 1 Scholarship Application
Complete this form. The link for the second step, detailed below, will be emailed to you on submission of this form. You will still be considered for scholarships if you only complete step 1 however, completing step 2 will enable you to be considered for other, University-wide funding (there is a strict closing date for submission of step 2).
Step 2 Student Financial Assistance Application
To assist with the assessment your application you are asked to also submit an online Student Financial Assistance Application between 1 January and 8 March 2026. The Student Financial Assistance Application tool is used for consideration for all of the University's Student Grants. These are awards ranging from $200 to $10,000 per annum and are not aligned with any particular Faculty or degree.
