Scholarships and Grants

The Maple Equality and Inclusion Scholarship has been established to help provide people with a disability, greater access to affordable educational opportunities. This Scholarship is open to any individual within the Australian Community who identifies as having a disability. The aim of this scholarship is to support a student’s integration into tertiary education. It is known that students with disability may have additional obstacles to overcome in accessing tertiary education, particularly the additional costs involved, which can be considerable and variable.

Staff employed at the University of Divinity and/or one of its Colleges will get a 30% reduction in fees for the Semester 2 2023 intake of the Graduate Certificate in Leadership.

The Father John Wallis Scholarship, made possible by the generous support of the Missionary Sisters of Service, provides support worth up to $20,000 annually to a postgraduate student at the University of Divinity. The Scholarship is normally available for a fixed period of two years. The purpose of the scholarship is to support theological education and pastoral leadership in Australia that is consonant with the vision of the Second Vatican Council.

Rural and Regional Enterprise Scholarships (RRES) provide up to $18,000 for eligible students to undertake Certificate IV to PhD level study, as well as an additional $500 for internships. You can study on campus or in your local community, including online, from six months full-time up to eight years part-time.

The Tertiary Access Payment (TAP) is available to regional or remote school leavers to help with the costs of moving to a new city or town to undertake full time, higher level tertiary education (Cert IV and above) after completing Year 12 or its equivalent.
