Cowan
Ability Grant
This grant is to assist students who have disabilities to manage the
additional expenses associated with studying with disabilities. Many
students with disabilities require additional equipment; have travel
expenses and limited ability to earn additional income whilst studying.
The Cowan Ability Grant targets a recent school leaver who has successfully
completed a year of university study. This has been identified as a time
when students are often struggling with the financial cost associated with
continuing their study. Online applications will open on 15 January 2008
through
my Scholarships.
Value: $2,000

University of South Australia Student Exchange Travel Grants
The University of South Australia is committed to providing opportunities for students to gain an international perspective by participating in student exchange. Studying on exchange can be an enriching cultural and academic experience and one that benefits you throughout your life. UniSA has more than 60 exchange partners throughout the world in Asia, Europe and the Americas.
All UniSA students who are accepted into the exchange program are eligible for a travel grant. While on student exchange, you remain enrolled at the University of South Australia and continue to pay your normal UniSA fees. You do not pay tuition fees to the host institution. For students that are eligible, Austudy/Abstudy/Youth Allowance payments continue to be paid while overseas on student exchange. You will also receive credit for the courses you take on student exchange, meaning that you will still be able to complete your degree on time.
Value: $800 to $2,400 (dependent on selected country)
