About This Opportunity

This Scholarship supports Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander undergraduate and postgraduate by coursework students from interstate or rural/regional Victoria. The scholarship provides financial assistance to help with accommodation costs for students who have relocated from rural/regional areas to study in Melbourne at RMIT University. Preference is given to students who can demonstrate financial hardship and who have relocated from a rural/regional area to study at RMIT. The scholarship provides up to $7,000 per year ($3,500 per semester) for full-time enrolled students for the duration of the program, or up to $3,500 per year ($1,750 per semester) for part-time enrolled students for the duration of the program. This is part of a broader support system available through the Ngarara Willim Centre for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples at RMIT.
