Application procedures differ for the various scholarships and grants at UniSA. You will generally apply either:
- Using myScholarships
- Through the South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC), for equity and Indigenous Commonwealth scholarships
- Directly through the school or division administering the scholarship
- For postgraduate research degrees, as part of your online application for your degree.
It is important to refer to the scholarship or grant description to find out which application method applies.
Applying through myScholarships
Once you are enrolled at UniSA you can apply for a range of scholarships through myScholarships, accessed via your myUniSA student portal. Choose from the list of available scholarships and you will be guided through the application process.
Applying through SATAC
(For equity scholarships and Indigenous Commonwealth scholarships)
By submitting one application through SATAC you will be considered for all equity scholarships offered by UniSA, including UniSA study grants and transition grants. If you are an Indigenous student you will also be considered for Indigenous Commonwealth scholarships including Indigenous Commonwealth Education Costs Scholarships (CECS), Indigenous Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarships (CAS), CECS-Indigenous enabling, CAS-Indigenous enabling and Indigenous access scholarships.
If you are a new student you can apply at the same time as you apply for your UniSA program. Please be aware of important dates. You will be asked to provide either your SATAC application reference number (which you will be given when you apply for entry into your program through SATAC) or student number and will need to provide proof of financial need.
Applying through your division or school
Each division or school has its own scholarships. The application process varies. Refer to the scholarship or grant description for more information.
