Commonwealth Scholarships

Since 2004, the Commonwealth Government has offered a significant number of scholarships each year for students studying at the University of Adelaide through Commonwealth income support scholarships.

Current Scholarship Recipients

Students who currently receive a Commonwealth Education Costs Scholarship or a Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship at the University of Adelaide and who maintain their eligibility, will continue to receive their Commonwealth Scholarship payments until their scholarship entitlement has been consumed.

In 2013, the Commonwealth Education Costs Scholarship is valued at $2,469 and the Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship is valued at $4,939.  Scholarship payments will be made in two equal instalments, one in April and one in September following a check of enrolment and academic progress at each of the census dates.

New Scholarships 

The Commonwealth Government established two new scholarships in 2010, the Student Start-up Scholarship and the Relocation Scholarship. These scholarships are paid and administered by Centrelink.
