All universities offer grants and scholarships to new
and continuing students who might not normally consider or be able to afford to
undertake higher education. Equity scholarships are awarded to
help students from low socio-economic backgrounds with costs associated with
higher education. Applications for Equity
Scholarships for semester 1 2009 for study at Charles Darwin
University, Flinders University, the University of Adelaide and the
University of South Australia are now open. Applications
close on Friday 5 December 2008 for consideration in the January 2009
scholarship offer round.
By
submitting one free application through SATAC you will be considered for all
Commonwealth Scholarships and Institution Equity Scholarships at participating
universities.
