The Kal’owendha Bursary aims to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and provides financial assistance to offset the costs associated with tertiary study that can have a significant impact on a student's ability to further their education.
Each bursary will be valued at $2,500 and is paid to the recipient as equal fortnightly instalments in Semester 1 of the relevant year. Part-time and full-time recipients are eligible for the full bursary value (pro-rata will not be applied to part-time enrolment).
Please Note: This scholarship is offered on a yearly basis through funds provided by an external donor. If funding is not available in any given year, the scholarship will not be awarded.
