SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities

We are proud to have the highest ratio of students from low socio-economic, mature age, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and first-in-family backgrounds. The University defines itself by who it embraces rather than who it excludes, and because of this is widely recognised as Australia's most inclusive university. We are focused on creating and build stronger relationships and sustainable opportunities that will enable equality and integration, greater study, employment and research prospects and the reciprocation of knowledge.

There are a number of scholarships available for students with disabilities and/or students from underrepresented groups. A sample of the scholarships available are shown below or for more information on available scholarships visit our scholarships page which includes both our University and external stakeholder scholarships.
