Commonly Asked Questions
How much will my Scholarship be per fortnight?
As the majority of scholarships are not taxable, the easy way to calculate
your fortnightly payment is to take your annual stipend (ie, $20,000) and divide
it by 26 (giving you $769.23). This is the method used by payroll to determine
the fortnightly amount. This does not apply to part-time scholarships where
the annual amount is taxable.
