Scholarships
The Kulbardi Aboriginal Centre doesn't want money problems to be the barrier to you starting or completing your studies. Lots of students struggle financially at some point during their course, and the hard times can really impact on the amount of time you can devote to your studies. There are a huge variety of scholarships for different circumstances such as:
- personal and financial hardship;
- what you are studying; and
- where you are living.
A good starting point when investigating scholarships is to contact the Kulbardi student support co-ordinator who can give advice on which scholarships are available to you, and can provide application forms and general information.
Scholarships presently available to Indigenous students include:
