About This Opportunity

Supported by the McCall MacBain Foundation and UniLodge Australia, the Second Home Scholarship encourages and supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to complete their university education at Curtin University by covering their accommodation costs at one of the Curtin Perth on-campus accommodation residences. The scholarship provides an annual value of up to $12,500, paid as $6,250 per semester, directly towards Curtin Perth on-campus accommodation. The award can be provided for up to a maximum of three years based on a full-time study load of 100 credits. This scholarship is specifically designed to support Indigenous students from low socio-economic backgrounds who demonstrate financial hardship, helping them maintain their studies while living in university accommodation.
