Ormond College Financial Aid

Ormond College offers financial assistance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who are not eligible for ABSTUDY Remote Community Allowance (RCO). The financial aid is designed to support Indigenous students attending the University of Melbourne, whether they choose to live on-campus as residents or off-campus as non-residents while participating in all College programs and activities. Ormond is home to more than 500 undergraduate and graduate students and provides a supportive community environment. Financial Assistance is awarded on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the student's possible contribution towards accommodation fees and their overall financial need. The program aims to reduce financial barriers for Indigenous students pursuing tertiary education at one of Australia's leading universities. The scholarship is open to students in any area of study and supports various study loads. Applicants are assessed based on financial need through a detailed application process. The value of the financial assistance varies depending on individual circumstances.
