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.
While legislation to give effect to the proposed reforms has already passed the House of Representatives, the Senate has not passed the legislation.
This means that the current arrangements and rules for Youth Allowance, Austudy and ABSTUDY remain in place. The Government has indicated that it intends to again seek passage of its reforms by the Senate in early in 2010.
DEEWR
will provide further details on these arrangements.
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.
If you are eligible for a Indigenous CECS, Indigenous CAS, 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.
