Government Funded Scholarships available for students

The Australian Government has several programs, initiatives* and resources to help students with their studies. These support initiatives are either offered directly by the Australian Government or are available through education providers. 

1) Tertiary Access Payment (TAP)

A payment to help students with the cost of moving from regional or remote areas for tertiary study.

The TAP is a non-indexed, means-tested payment to school leavers from regional or remote areas in Australia who need to relocate for full-time, higher-level tertiary education at an education provider located at least 90-minutes by public transport from their family home.

Applications open 1 January and close 31 December each calendar year for students who meet the eligibility criteria within the corresponding year.

2) Destination Australia Scholarship

As part of the 2024-2025 Budget, the Australian Government announced there will be no further funding rounds for the Destination Australia program (DAP) from 1 July 2024.

All current Destination Australia scholarship recipients will continue to be supported for the remainder of their studies, for up to four years, provided they continue to meet the eligibility criteria.
