Scholarship applications for Semester 1, 2025 are now open and close on 3 December 2024 (extended).

Please be aware you may not be able to access the scholarship application form from 30 November to the morning of 2 December 2024 due to system maintenance.


Bursary selections will take place in late March via an external selection panel. We will endeavour to advise all applicants of the outcome of their applications by early April 2024.

 

The U3A supports merit-based equity bursaries for undergraduate students in second year and above.

There are three bursaries available for domestic students and one bursary for an international student each year.

The University selection panel will include representatives of U3A. They will consider applications from students from all equity groups.

The successful students must commit to attending a meeting with U3A and to receiving their Award at the Annual General Meeting.

Please Note:  This bursary is offered on a yearly basis through funds provided by an external donor. If funding is not available in any given year, the bursary will not be awarded.
