General Hints & Reminders

• Students should not limit themselves to applying solely for scholarships for people with a disability as many students have successfully applied for a variety of scholarships types.
• Always ask academic and general staff members in the relevant Department / Faculty of the TAFE you are applying to as there may be scholarships or financial assistance available that isn’t publicised.
• Always ask the Disability Liaison Officer or Equity Officer at your TAFE as he / she should be aware of any assistance and the latest scholarships information for students with a disability.
• Ask around – talk to friends, other people you know, secondary school teachers and other secondary school staff, students already studying at TAFE or those close to graduating and recent graduates – someone might know of some financial assistance you can apply for.
• Your local community – there may be community groups or committed people in your local area that can help with some fundraising. Perhaps the local newspaper would publish an article. Consider organisations such as Rotary and Lions Clubs. The The Our Community website may provide you with some fundraising ideas.
• The Financial Support / Advisory Service may provide small grants or bursaries for students experiencing financial hardship. Check with the Financial Advisor at your TAFE.
• The Housing Advisory Service may know of housing bursaries available and / or community organisations that provide financial assistance for bonds if you relocate or move into a rental property. Check with the Housing Advisor at your TAFE.
• Bond Assistance: People on low incomes may be eligible for the Department of Human Services Office of Housing Bond Loan Scheme. Ph: 1300 650 172 or Email: housing@dhs.vic.gov.au.
• The Student Union at your TAFE may provide arts grants or some other form of financial assistance.
