About This Opportunity

From the NSW Government's new program within the Strong Family, Strong Communities framework, this scholarship supports eligible tertiary students with grants of $5,000, $7,000 or $10,000 to offset the cost of living whilst studying. The scholarship is specifically designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students enrolled at the University of Newcastle who are experiencing housing stress or are social housing tenants. The program aims to support Indigenous students pursuing any area of study at the undergraduate level through full-time study. Housing stress is defined as an individual expending more than 40% of weekly income on housing. This initiative is part of a broader framework to support strong Indigenous families and communities through educational access and support.
