Indigenous Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship

The Indigenous Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship is funded by the Australian Government under the Indigenous Student Success Program and is valued at $9,000 (pro-rata for part-time study). The purpose of this scholarship is to widen participation in higher education on campus for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. Equity programs aim to overcome educational and financial disadvantages and help everyone access their potential. The scholarship is awarded based on regional and remote location (with preference given to applicants from regional or remote areas), financial disadvantage, and academic merit. This scholarship is available to all new and continuing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students enrolled in a UNE Enabling, Undergraduate or Postgraduate (Coursework) course at the University of New England who are relocating to Armidale for the purpose of study or have recently relocated to Armidale in the last 6 months. Approximately 20 scholarships are offered.
