UniSC has been awarded a range of mobility grants for specified short-term mobility programs by the Australian Government under the New Colombo Plan program.

Short Term Mobility Programs are usually run by an UniSC academic as part of a course and these opportunities will be promoted by the academic to students.

Eligibility

There are rules, conditions and eligibility criteria associated with the NCP Mobility Grants.

These are set out in the NCP Mobility Grant guidelines applicable for the year the funding was awarded. However, in general the eligibility criteria to receive a mobility grant is as follows:

• Undertaking an Undergraduate program (Bachelor or Honours) at UniSC
• Must be an Australian citizen
• Age limit of 18-28 years old at commencement of mobility project (applies to 70 percent of participants). 30 percent allowance for participants over 28 years per project.
• Students cannot receive a Student Grant to undertake a Mobility Project in a host location in which they have dual citizenship or residency rights, or in which they have previously been a citizen or permanent resident
• Not have previously received an NCP short term grant
• Must obtain credit for course in which overseas travel is a component

Note: Where there are more students participating than available grants, additional eligibility criteria may apply. To be eligible, applicants must meet the funding body’s eligibility requirements. Scholarship availability is subject to change at any time.

No application required

You do not need to apply for an NCP Mobility Grant.

Once you are selected by the academic to participate in the Short-Term Mobility Program for which UniSC received NCP funding, you will be invited by the Global Mobility team to complete an NCP Eligibility form. This will allow us to determine your eligibility for the grant.

You will be advised if you have been successful in receiving a grant, and any conditions attached, via a Letter of Offer.

Payment of your grant will be made to you prior to your departure on your Short-Term Mobility Program, where you have accepted your Letter of Offer and fulfilled the conditions listed.
