Scholarships
ANU offers a wide range of scholarships to students to assist with the cost of their studies.
Eligibility to apply for ANU scholarships varies depending on the specifics of the scholarship and can be categorised by the type of student you are. Specific scholarship application process information is included in the relevant scholarship listing.
For further information see the Scholarships website.
Students aspiring to study at ANU, and those whom the University wishes to reach, sometimes do not meet its minimum entry standards. This is often because of restricted educational opportunity, through geographic location; cultural or socio-economic expectations or restrictions; lack of choice, or poor choices; or personal factors such as individual or family circumstances which affect success.
There are pathway options for students without the ATAR entry scores to study at ANU. However, even these programs can contain barriers to participation for some of the students ANU wishes to reach.
There seems, therefore, to be a need for the University to supply an Enabling Program for students from equity groups who want to access ANU, but who lack the confidence, or the academic skills for study.
The aim of the Program, then is to provide an Enabling Program for equity students to access ANU.
