The Humanitarian Scholarship Program exists to support undergraduate study for students from a refugee or asylum seeker background. Many of these students are unable to access Commonwealth Supported Places or government loan schemes due to visa status.

The program includes comprehensive support for students throughout their study, covering:

  • Assistance with tuition fees and educational costs
  • Support with transition and on-boarding
  • Peer and academic mentoring
  • Paid internship opportunities
  • Graduate career help

A step-by-step guide of how to apply for the humanitarian scholarship is found here.

UTS acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the Boorooberongal people of the Dharug Nation, the Bidiagal people and the Gamaygal people upon whose ancestral lands our university stands. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.
