STarting tertiary studies BursarIES

$1000

THIS GRANT IS CLOSED

Open 7 September 2026 | Close 31 January 2027

We want every student – regardless of their financial circumstances – to have a strong start to their tertiary education.

We acknowledge, however, that beginning tertiary study can be expensive.

That’s why the Mac.Rob Foundation offers a number of bursaries to support students whose families are experiencing genuine financial hardship. These bursaries are designed to assist with essential expenses as students transition from school to further study.

That’s why we are pleased to offer a number of bursaries to support those who may be experiencing financial difficulties that might prevent them from purchasing the necessities in preparation for the start of their tertiary education.

Eligibility

The bursary is open to:

  • Departing Year 12 students in 2026

  • Students commencing an Australian tertiary course in 2027

  • Families experiencing demonstrated financial hardship

Valued at $1,000, the bursary may be used for expenses directly related to tertiary study in Australia, including:

  • Textbooks

  • Required equipment or course materials

  • Technology

  • Public transport (e.g. a myki card)

  • Other essential study-related costs

Bursaries will be awarded in February 2027 to support students as they begin their tertiary journey.
