Equity Scholarships are awarded to tertiary students who demonstrate the greatest level of financial need. Most applicants who are awarded a scholarship are receiving Centrelink income support payments such as ABSTUDY, Austudy, Youth Allowance, JobSeeker Payment, Disability Support Pension, Parenting Payment (Single) or the Carer Payment.

There are two types of Equity Scholarships:

• Institution Equity Scholarships: funded by individual institutions and their value, eligibility criteria and duration differ between institutions
• Indigenous Student Success Program scholarships: funded by the Australian Government.

Most institutions also offer merit scholarships: apply directly to the institution for these.

To apply for an Equity Scholarship, you must be enrolled at a 91桃色 participating institution, or applying for admission to a 91桃色 participating institution :

• through 91桃色 for undergraduate or postgraduate study (only a very limited number of equity scholarships open to international applicants), or
• directly to an institution, or
• through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) or the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC).

Most applicants who receive a scholarship are receiving Centrelink income support payments and/or can demonstrate that they meet additional types of eligibility criteria specified by the institution.

Details of requirements for individual scholarships can be found on the institution websites.

Being eligible doesn't guarantee a scholarship

Meeting scholarship eligibility criteria doesn鈥檛 guarantee that you鈥檒l be awarded a scholarship. There are more applicants than available scholarships. As part of a competitive application process, you are ranked against the eligibility criteria, and institutions award scholarships to applicants who best meet the eligibility criteria.

If you are unsuccessful it doesn鈥檛 mean that you鈥檙e not in need; rather, it means that there are other applicants who鈥檝e been assessed as being in greater need.
