Scholarship Introduction:

- Do you fit the low socio-economic requirement by meeting one of the following criteria:
- Currently receiving a Centrelink Income Support Payment (such as Austudy, ABSTUDY, Youth Allowance, etc),

- Are you, or will you be enrolled as a full-time student (or have extenuating circumstances that prevent you studying full-time)?
