JCU Access Fund
The JCU Access Fund could be the answer if money problems stand
between you and a higher education at JCU. Reasons for financial
hardship are considered in awarding these scholarships and bursaries.
There are three different awards under the JCU Access Fund.
• JCU Access Scholarships
Access Scholarships are for new full-time
undergraduate students dealing with financial hardship. The value is
$5,000 paid in two equal instalments in your first year of study.
• JCU Access Bursaries
Bursaries are also for new full-time students
experiencing financial difficulty. The value is $1,500 paid in two equal
installments in your first year of study.
• JCU Support Grants
These grants are for full-time students in their
second year of study at JCU who are having financial difficulties. The
value is $500, available as credit at the JCU Bookshop.
