Please be advised the Commonwealth Scholarships Program for South Australia is now open for application.

The Commonwealth Scholarships Program for South Australia offers support for a minimum of 1,200 undergraduate, postgraduate and vocational education and training students to undertake study, training and internships in South Australia.

Scholarships are available for students studying from Certificate III to PhD levels in an area that will lead to employment in one of three streams:

  • Stream 1 – defence industry (including naval shipbuilding)
  • Stream 2 – advanced manufacturing, health services and medical research, tourism and hospitality, wine and food, and energy and resources. Applications will also be accepted from students who intend to study in a field that is relevant to, and are currently employed by, a business with innovative practices that result in economic growth
  • Stream 3 – South Australian state-based skills needs. Any occupation listed on pages 2 and 3 on the Australian Government Department of Employment’s Skills Shortage List for South Australia will be eligible for a scholarship.

Scholarship funding of up to $17,500 is available for each student. This amount will vary based on scholarship length and whether studies are part time or full time.
