A study grant worth $30 000 is on offer from Australia's most experienced online university, Charles Sturt University (CSU).

The CSU Online Study Grant Competition will run from 5 January to 29 February 2016 and is a continuation of CSU's Think Again marketing campaign which aimed to inspire people to overcome whatever has held them back from further study or making a career transformation.

Senior Manager, Strategic Development Ms Jennifer Galloway said the competition gives prospective students the change to win $30 000 towards the any study-related expenses such as textbooks and technology, university fees or even accommodation and travel.

To enter people can upload an image which has inspired them to Think Again about their career and describe it in 25 words on the competition page www.csuonline.edu.au/thinkagain, and fill out a form with their personal details.  

"The competition will be judged on originality and creativity," Ms Galloway said. "We want to know what's really motivating people to Think Again and chase their dreams by studying at university.

"Whether they are inspired by their family, their friends, their career ambitions or simply the chance at a promotion, we hope the competition will help people realise what is possible through online study. A panel of judges will award the most creative and original entry with the prize of a $30 000 grant to study with CSU Online."

CSU Online has more than 350 courses to choose from and a subject designed especially for those people who haven't studied online before or have taken a long break from study, Introduction to Online Learning, which is free to enrolled students.
