Our scholarships and bursaries aren’t just for high academic achievers or students who are struggling financially either. They’re also available for students achieving sporting success or who are involved in community work such as fundraising, volunteering or taking a leadership role.
Indigenous Services
Make the most of our culturally safe study spaces. On each campus we have designated centres for our Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Students. Come and connect with the Elders, gain academic skills support, make a cuppa and chat with our friendly and supportive Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Staff. We are here to provide a range of support services in this culturally safe environment at UniSC.
