Scholarships

The Division of Residential Services Scholarships ($500)
A number of scholarships are available to undergraduate or postgraduate students enrolled at the Bundoora campus. Each scholarship is valued at $500 and is awarded mid-year each year. The scholarship is to provide assistance to students who can demonstrate their successful commencement of, or progress in University study, and who can demonstrate a financial need with respect to the costs of accommodation whilst undertaking their studies. These costs may be incurred within University-managed accommodation, e.g. Barnes Way flats, The University Lodge, the Colleges, or in the community outside the University. Application information is available from the middle of the year usually June. Further information from Rod Coade (telephone: 03 9479 1009).
