• There is more than $10 million worth of scholarships and grants across all categories available in 2024

Those who thought a university education may be out of reach due to financial barriers have renewed hope with more than $10 million in scholarships and grants available in 2024 through Charles Sturt University!

Scholarships will be awarded across a variety of criteria, including being based on financial need, regional locality, leadership qualities and community involvement, along with scholarships to help cover work placement costs, for First Nations people and more.   

Charles Sturt Foundation Trust CEO Ms Sarah Ansell said the University’s relationships with major companies and community members assisted in enabling more than $10 million in scholarship and grants funding for 2024 from all sources.  

“Charles Sturt’s relationships with government, private enterprise and the community means we are proud to be able to assist students in need with covering the costs associated with university with more than $10 million in scholarships and grants for next year,” Ms Ansell said.

“Within that, there are over 500 Charles Sturt Foundation Scholarships available on the University’s website which are scholarships our staff have generated through our extensive and long-standing relationships with the non-government sector.

“This equates to more than $4 million in scholarships from the Charles Sturt Foundation Trust.”

Ms Ansell said there was a range of expenses covered by scholarships on offer.

“Our scholarships cover things such as accommodation, textbooks, laptops and living expenses,” she said.

“They are there to help students start and finish university.”

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 Birrang Enterprise Development Company Ltd Aboriginal Scholarship which provides $45,000 in financial assistance to eliminate any financial obstacles associated with attending university.

“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.”

“We even have a video on our scholarships page that helps students to look for scholarships that suit their needs,” Ms Ansell said.
