Subsidized loans require you to pay the interest of the loan regularly starting from the issue day. Unsubsidized loans allow deferment of the loan and interest until graduation. For more information and applications, please contact the AustraLearn office. At this time, there are limited resources to attend an Australian university who is not qualified to distribute the Federal Stafford Loan Program, although many universities offer their own scholarship schemes for specific degrees. You may also inquire at your local bank about separate loans for these types of programs.
Many universities offer specific scholarship schemes for their degree programs.
Typically, these scholarships are reserved for students pursuing research degrees. This web site will attempt to compile and list current scholarships. If you wish to see a list of all current scholarships offered by a particular university, we recommend submitting your application to AustraLearn with a cover letter requesting the updated list from the university. Your study abroad experience does not have to be required for your degree program in order to apply your aid and your institution should not deny federal financial aid if you are an eligible student who is in an approved study abroad program. If you have any questions, please contact our office.
