Scholarships for students on low incomes
Start-Up Scholarships and Relocation Scholarships
The Federal Government has made a number of changes to income support arrangements for university students. Among the changes are two new scholarships. These are the Start-up Scholarships to help cover the general education costs of attending university and the Relocation Scholarship to assist students who have had to relocate to take up their university studies.
These scholarships are administered by Centrelink and questions should be directed to them.
