Apply for Grants from now until March 25th

There are two grants you may be interested in. Both are open from now until March 25th 2011.

Cowan Ability Grant - $2000
Grants are available to assist students who have disabilities to manage the additional expenses associated with studying with disabilities. Many students with disabilities require additional equipment, have travel expenses and limited ability to earn additional income whilst studying.


The Cowan Ability Grants target recent school leavers who have completed high school within two years of commencing their current university program and who have successfully completed a year of study (equivalent to 36 units). This has been identified as a time when students are often struggling with the financial cost associated with continuing their study.



Equipment Grant - up to $1000
The Disability Equipment Grant scheme will assist UniSA students, with disabilities, to purchase equipment and/or software which will assist them with their studies.

Apply online through 'My Scholarships'
