Flinders University

Government assistance

The Commonwealth Government provides financial assistance to eligible students through the Youth Allowance (for full-time students under the age of 25), Austudy (for full-time students over 25) and Abstudy (for Australian Indigenous students) schemes.

Eligibility for these schemes may depend on your residential status, previous study and means testing.

There are a number of government National Indigenous Cadetships available to Indigenous Australians. These pay an allowance and offer employment at the completion of your degree.

Scholarships

Flinders offers a wide range of scholarships to new and continuing undergraduate students. Some are general in nature, while others assist students who are studying specific courses or who come from particular areas of the state.

Flinders also offers scholarships to students who are experiencing financial disadvantage. These are awarded on demonstrated financial need and academic merit.

Other scholarships

The State Government offers a range of scholarships to assist rural students wishing to enter Teaching and Nursing degrees. At the completion of your study you will be expected to work in a non-metropolitan location.
