Indigenous Commonwealth Scholarship

The Indigenous Commonwealth Scholarships are funded by the Australian Federal Government to assist Indigenous Australian students experiencing financial hardship. There are two types: ICECS, which helps with education-related costs for enrolled students, and ICAS, which assists with relocation and accommodation costs for students who have relocated to study. The scholarships are need-based and are awarded for the normal remaining duration of the course.

Stipends for education costs and for relocation/accommodation, as specified per scholarship type and enrollment status.

Applicants must be Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and enrolled in an eligible Curtin University course (including enabling, associate, or bachelor degrees) in semester 2, 2020, with demonstrated financial hardship and other criteria as outlined by the scholarships.

Apply online via Curtin University Scholarships (My Studies/OASIS) or the Apply Online option; follow the steps to complete and submit the application.
