More information 1. The bursary has been established to help needy children of Vietnam veterans meet the cost of full-time tertiary education and help them get the formal qualifications and skills needed to pursue their chosen career. The bursary is named after the Battle of Long Tan , the best-known battle fought by Australians during the Vietnam War. This amount will be paid to you in instalments and can be used to help cover costs such as enrolment and course fees, and textbooks.
Tertiary education is considered to include vocationally-oriented courses.
Assistance is not available to students undertaking professional training such as College of Law, honours, graduate diplomas, masters' degrees or doctorates. All applications will be treated in the strictest of confidence. Applications for the coming academic year are open on 18 August and close on 31 October.
