About This Opportunity

The MTC Indigenous Relocation Scholarship is offered by the Moondani Toombadool Centre at Swinburne University of Technology to support Indigenous undergraduate or postgraduate students with relocation or accommodation costs to begin their degree. This one-off payment scholarship is designed specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who need to relocate from regional or remote areas of Australia to undertake their studies on campus at Swinburne. The scholarship aims to remove financial barriers for Indigenous students who have lived in regional or remote areas within the last four years and need to relocate to pursue higher education. Recipients must not be in receipt of or eligible for an ICAS scholarship or other Relocation scholarships. Applicants must demonstrate that they have experienced circumstances that may have hindered their access to education, including financial hardship, personal hardship, living in a regional/rural/remote area, or being first in their family to attend university. The scholarship supports full-time students studying on campus at Swinburne University.
