Indigenous Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship
Students who meet the requirements may now apply to Flinders University for an Indigenous Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship. For all students, it is a fully financed scholarship.
About Flinders University
In Adelaide, South Australia, there is a public university called Flinders University.
It was established in 1966, and navigator Matthew Flinders, who explored and mapped the South Australian coastline in the early 19th century, was honored in its name.
The Indigenous Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship (ICAS) was created by the Commonwealth government and Flinders University to help indigenous students with the costs of housing and/or moving while attending Flinders University.
Aim and Benefits of Indigenous Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship
The amount of annual financing from the Commonwealth government will decide the number of ICAS that are made accessible each year. Each scholarship will be worth $7500 per year and be paid in two $3750 installments.
