Equity Scholarships (ES) Equity Scholarships (ES) help financially disadvantaged students with the general costs associated with tertiary study. Equity Scholarships are awarded to students from low socio-economic backgrounds, particularly those who receive Centrelink income support payments such as ABSTUDY, Austudy, Youth Allowance, Newstart Allowance, Disability Support Pension, Parenting Payment (Single) or the Carer Payment. There are two types of Equity Scholarships: Institution Equity Scholarships (IES) are funded by individual institutions and their value, eligibility criteria and duration differ between institutions. Commonwealth Scholarships for Indigenous applicants are funded by the Australian Government. The existing Commonwealth Scholarships Program is being modified and the new guidelines are not yet known. Read more about these changes.

To be eligible for EAS consideration your educational performance must have been seriously affected, normally for a period of at least six months during Year 11 and/or 12 or equivalent, due to circumstances beyond your control and choosing.
