Changes to Equity Scholarships in 2010
Some significant changes to Equity Scholarships are being introduced for
2010.
Please note that the information below is subject to change.
The Commonwealth Government announced in the 2009-2010 Federal Budget
that it is replacing the existing Commonwealth Scholarships scheme with two
new scholarships - the Student Start Up Scholarship and the Commonwealth
Relocation Scholarship - which will replace the Commonwealth Education Costs
Scholarship and the Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship. These two new
scholarships will be administered by Centrelink.
For students who are already in receipt of a Commonwealth Education Costs
Scholarship or a Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship, allowance payments
will continue to be administered by the University.
The delivery of Commonwealth Scholarships to indigenous students will
continue to be administered by the University.
Student Start-Up Scholarship
For university students in receipt of Youth Allowance, AUSTUDY and ABSTUDY
and those assisted under veterans' schemes, the allowance will be $2,254 in
2010 and indexed thereafter. No application is required. The allowance will
be paid directly to all eligible students through Centrelink.
Commonwealth Relocation Scholarship
For students receiving Youth Allowance, AUSTUDY and ABSTUDY who are
dependants who have to live away from the family home for study and for
independent students who are disadvantaged by personal and relationship
circumstances. The allowance will be $4,000 for students in their first year
at university and $1,000 in subsequent years for up to four years. No
application is required. The allowance will be paid directly to all eligible
students through Centrelink.
If you are eligible for a CECS-Indigenous Enabling, CAS-Indigenous Enabling, Indigenous Access Scholarships, UniSA Study Grants and some Transition Grants you will still need to apply through SATAC. For details on what information you need to provide please see the SATAC website.
