FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE - SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships are a great way to reduce the cost of study, and there are more opportunities than you might think. They aren’t just for top marks – many are awarded for financial disadvantage, difficult circumstances, community service, relocation, or being an Indigenous student. Of course, there are also scholarships for academic merit.
