Are TAFE and Undergraduate scholarships available for part-time students?
Most scholarships are only available to students enrolled on a full-time basis. For a higher education student, 75% of a normal full time load is 0.375 EFTSL (36 credit points) per semester, usually three units per semester. For a TAFE student, 75% of a normal full time load is a minimum of 270 study hours per year. There are limited circumstances in which a scholarship can be granted to a part-time student, such as illness or other exceptional circumstances. If you are requesting approval you need to submit a statement with supporting documentation for consideration by the Scholarship Selection Panel. Students who are registered with VU Disability Services are eligible for scholarships if enrolled part time.
