How to Apply

Step 1: See if you are eligible

Commencing and current Charles Sturt University students have the opportunity to apply for scholarships.  Please use the specific eligibility criteria listed on each webpage as a guide to the scholarship that can best support your study requirements.

Read the criteria carefully for each scholarship, you wish to apply for to ensure that you are eligible.

You can apply for multiple scholarships but each scholarship will require a separate application.

Step 2: Complete your scholarship profile

If you are new to Charles Sturt University, before you begin, completed your scholarship profile.  This will make applying for multiple scholarships much more efficient as certain fields prepopulate your applications.

• An essay, research project proposal or reference letters may be requested
• If your selection criteria involves Local Government Areas (LGA), please supply ONE of the following:

Step 4: Understand the deadlines

1. Pay close attention to scholarship application closing deadlines. Applications submitted past the deadline are not considered.
