Paid Placement Support Guarantee

To be eligible for the scholarship, students must:

• be a commencing international student (not a study abroad, exchange or online student) in 2025 or 2026
• be enrolled in an eligible coursework course that requires mandatory placement
• enrol in the mandatory placement units
• be eligible to study in Australia with a valid visa
• meet the additional terms and conditions as set out below. 

Undergraduate recipients will get up to $10,000 and postgraduate recipients will get up to $5,000, distributed in instalments throughout their course.

Payments will be:

• made by the University directly to eligible international students as they enrol in the mandatory placement units within the below-listed courses
• disbursed according to a schedule determined by the University and may be subject to adjustments based on placement status and other relevant factors.
• made after census date of each semester within which the student completed a mandatory placement unit
• made in equal instalments over the duration of the course, as dictated by the course study plan and enrolment by students in placement unit/s within courses.

Students who commence their course in the second year or receive academic credit that reduces the number of placement units required will receive pro-rata scholarship payments. In such cases, payments will be made only for completed placement units and may not total the full scholarship amount available

If a student is required to repeat a unit for which a scholarship payment has already been made, no additional payment will be provided for completing the unit a second time.

No further payments will be made to eligible students once the maximum value of the Placement Support Scholarship has been reached (up to $10,000 for eligible undergraduate courses and up to $5,000 for eligible postgraduate courses) over the duration of the course. 

IMPORTANT: Payments will be made after census date each semester and students need to remain enrolled in the unit at census date each to receive payment. The University will identify and contact all eligible students after the census date each semester. Students will receive an email outlining the expected payment timeline and the placement unit to which the payment applies. This communication will also detail any actions required by the student to ensure timely payment.
