Applications open each year at the beginning of August. Any award that may be open for application between November and July will be listed below.

Awards currently open for application are -

Commonwealth Scholarships for Associate Degree courses only (closing 31 July). Applications for all Commonwealth awards EXCEPT associate degree closed on 31 May. Due to lack of funding we are not able to accept further applications. Students in associate degree courses will be able to apply until 31 July only. To be eligible for a Commonwealth Scholarship you should be from a low socio-economic background and in financial need. Students currently receiving Centrelink benefits will be given priority as they have already been assessed by the Commonwealth Government as being in financial need.

Lois and Alan Dann Scholarship in Science - for students undertaking plant science or zoology units who commenced study this year (closing date extended to 7 July).

HECS Scholarships

The University of Tasmania is making available HECS Scholarships for the equivalent of one academic year of full-time study to any permanent employees or long-term casual staff made redundant since the beginning of December 2008, as a direct result of the global financial crisis. Applicants must commence study at UTAS after Semester 1, 2009 and within six months of being made redundant. (Not administered by the Tasmania Scholarships program.)

Tasmanian Education Employee Opportunity

Employees within the Tasmanian State, Catholic and Independent education systems are invited to take advantage of a professional or personal development opportunity that provides university study fully covered by a HECS Scholarship. (Not administered by the Tasmania Scholarships program.)

The University of Tasmania acknowledges the essential support of the University Foundation and Tasmanian local government and businesses in its Tasmania Scholarships program. The University is particularly grateful to the Government of Tasmania for the assistance it provides to a substantial number of students through scholarships and bursaries.
