Riawunna Access Bursary

These bursaries are awarded annually by the Riawunna Centre, which provides a culturally welcoming space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to meet, study and access academic and pastoral support and assistance. The bursary is available to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander students who are commencing or continuing study at the University of Tasmania. Selection is based on demonstration of financial need. Recipients must engage with the Riawunna Centre, including participating in and attending Riawunna activities and events, and provide a short written report at the end of each study period to the Centre's Head of Service. Applicants must meet the Commonwealth definition of Aboriginality: be of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent, identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person, and be accepted as such by the community in which they live.
