More than 3,000 scholarships and grants are on offer for 2025.
Cost need not be a barrier to achieving a university education with $11 million in scholarships and grants now available for students who attend Charles Sturt University in 2025.
The University has more than 3,000 scholarships and grants on offer and applications are open for those who are eligible and would appreciate this financial assistance.
There is a wide variety of scholarships available, ranging from being based on financial need, regional locality, leadership qualities, community involvement, work placement costs, for First Nations people and more.
Charles Sturt Foundation Trust CEO Ms Sarah Ansell said the University continued to expand its efforts to increase the scholarships available for all who aspired to achieve a tertiary qualification.
“Charles Sturt University continues to find ways to work with local businesses, government and community members, giving them the chance to support those with the ambition and determination to achieve a university education,” Ms Ansell said.
“It’s easy to find out what students might be eligible for by visiting our Charles Sturt scholarships page to view the extensive list of scholarships available.
“We even have a video on our scholarships page that helps students to look for scholarships that suit their needs.”
Ms Ansell said scholarships covered many different types of expenses.
“Scholarships cover accommodation and other essential university expenses such as textbooks, laptops, and even costs associated with work placements if a student’s course has placement work included,” she said.
The value of scholarships derived from the Charles Sturt Foundation for 2025 is more than $4 million. These are scholarships that are provided through the University’s relationships with local businesses and private donors.
The value of scholarships differs depending on the course, duration and other variables.
“Our scholarships can range from a couple of thousand dollars as a one-off payment, through to covering all university expenses, for example the James McInerney Scholarship for Agriculture students, valued at up to $80,000,” she said.
“This year, we have a number of scholarships offered through local providers for students with a disability from Vivability and Glenray.
“And for the budding engineers out there, our partnership with Transgrid means there are 20 Transgrid Civil Engineering scholarships worth $20,000 each for students keen to pursue our world-renowned engineering course.”
