Equity Scholarships 2016–17
Financial assistance for tertiary study
Essentials: Equity Scholarships
Important update: Indigenous Commonwealth Scholarships
The Australian Government announced in the 2016
Commonwealth Budget that the existing Commonwealth
Scholarships Program was being modified and combined
with the Indigenous Support Program and the Indigenous
Tutorial Assistance Scheme – Tertiary Tuition provided by the
Indigenous Advancement Strategy into a single program to be
known as the Indigenous Students Support Program (ISSP)
(visit //www.budget.gov.au/2016-17/content/bp2/html/
bp2_expense-20.htm).
These changes, which are to take effect from 1 January 2017,
are intended to ‘create a new program to improve progression
and completion rates for Indigenous higher education students’.
At the time of publication of this booklet, the Commonwealth
had advised that they were in the process of preparing program
guidelines for the new ISSP, including scholarship requirements.
As the new guidelines for the ISSP are not yet known, the
Equity Scholarships application and assessment process
at UAC continues to be based on the existing guidelines for
Commonwealth Scholarships.
Institutions participating in UAC’s equity scholarships program
will continue to identify Indigenous students who have applied
for an Equity Scholarship via UAC and see details of their
financial and other eligible disadvantages.
It is expected that applications from Indigenous students
assessed by UAC will be used by institutions in determining the
level of assistance to provide to eligible applicants under the
new ISSP.
Indigenous students seeking support via the ISSP are therefore
encouraged to apply for an Equity Scholarship through UAC
so that their circumstances are reported to participating
institutions.
UAC’s website will be updated with details of changes to the
Commonwealth Scholarships program as soon as they become
available. Visit www.uac.edu.au/equity/commonwealth.
Applicants should also refer to institution websites for changes
that have been made by individual universities and higher
education providers.

Equity Scholarships 2016–17
Introduction to Equity Scholarships
What are Equity Scholarships?
Equity Scholarships (ES) assist disadvantaged students with
the general costs associated with tertiary study.
Equity Scholarships are awarded to students from
low-socio-economic backgrounds, particularly those who
receive Centrelink income support payments such as
ABSTUDY, Austudy, Youth Allowance, Newstart Allowance,
Disability Support Pension, Parenting Payment (Single) or
the Carer Payment.
There are two types of Equity Scholarships:
Institution Equity Scholarships (IES): these are funded
by individual institutions and their value, eligibility criteria
and duration differ between institutions. Details of the
IES available are on pages 18–82.
■ Commonwealth Scholarships (CS): these are funded by
the Australian Government and are not covered in this
booklet. See the inside front cover for information about
Indigenous Commonwealth Scholarships through UAC
and visit www.uac.edu.au/equity/commonwealth.
■
Am I eligible for IES?
In order to be considered eligible for Institution Equity
Scholarships, you must already be enrolled at or applying
for admission to an institution in any of the following ways:
■ applying through UAC for admission as an
undergraduate, postgraduate or international student
■ applying for admission directly to an institution (a direct
applicant)
2
Equity Scholarships 2016–17
■
applying for admission through the Victorian Tertiary
Admissions Centre (VTAC) or the Queensland Tertiary
Admissions Centre (QTAC). See the table on page 8
for more information about which institutions accept
Equity Scholarships through UAC.
Institutions make IES offers to applicants demonstrating
the greatest level of need, in a competitive application
process.
When awarding IES, institutions will consider any specific
requirements for individual scholarships, which can be
found on pages 18–82.
Most institutions will award Equity Scholarships to
applicants who are receiving Centrelink income support
payments and/or who can demonstrate additional types of
disadvantage listed on pages 3-7.
Being eligible doesn’t guarantee a scholarship
Meeting Institution Equity Scholarships eligibility
criteria doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be awarded a
scholarship. There are limited Equity Scholarships
and there are more applicants than scholarships.
As part of a competitive application process, you are
ranked against the eligibility criteria, and institutions
award scholarships to applicants who best meet the
eligibility criteria.
If you are unsuccessful it doesn’t mean that you’re not
in need; rather, it means that there are other applicants
who’ve been assessed as being in greater need.
Educational disadvantages
Institutions make Equity Scholarship offers to applicants demonstrating the greatest level of need, in a competitive
application process.
When awarding scholarships, institutions will consider any specific requirements for individual IES, as well as other forms of
educational disadvantage listed in the tables below.

supply additional supporting documents.
Additional disadvantages and all associated supporting
documentation must be received by UAC at least seven
working days before an Equity Scholarships offer round to
be considered in that round.
Contact [email protected] if you have any queries about
this process.
Viewing correspondence from UAC
You must provide an email address when you submit
your ES application as UAC will send you email
messages when you have correspondence about
your ES application. When you receive an email
alert from UAC, go to Applicant Services to view
the correspondence and take appropriate action.
We recommend that you go to Applicant Services
regularly to check for new correspondence.
Some email accounts might send emails from UAC
to your junk folder. Add the domain uac.edu.au to
your list of safe email contacts to stop this from
happening. It is your responsibility to check your
emails regularly (including your junk emails) for any
messages from UAC.
Offers
You can only receive an Equity Scholarships offer from an
institution:
■ from which you’ve received an offer of admission
■ at which you’re currently enrolled.
Equity Scholarship offers are made to applicants by UAC
on behalf of UAC’s participating institutions and are made
in conjunction with each undergraduate offer round.
After each scholarship round, outcomes will be available
at ‘ES Outcomes’ at the following link: www.uac.edu.au/
equity.
Online outcomes are provided to both successful and
unsuccessful applicants.
To access your outcome you’ll need your ES application
number and ES PIN.
Institutions decide which scholarship rounds they will
participate in and who they will make ES offers to. UAC
doesn’t select applicants, or have the power to persuade
institutions to make a particular offer, or question
decisions made by institutions.
Being eligible doesn’t guarantee the offer of an equity
scholarship as you are competing against other eligible
applicants.
Offer round participation
Not all institutions make scholarship offers before or after the
Main Round. To check which institutions may participate in
each Equity Scholarships offer round visit www.uac.edu.au/
equity/institution-offers.shtml.
Successful applicants
If you’ve been awarded an Equity Scholarship, you’ll receive
an email from UAC advising that you have correspondence.
Your Equity Scholarships offer is made on the condition
that you’re eligible to receive an Equity Scholarship on your
first census date for the scholarship period. Institutions will
confirm your eligibility before any payments are made to you.
If you’re awarded an Equity Scholarship, the institution will
provide details of when and how your payment will be made.
Some institutions make Equity Scholarships offers directly
to successful applicants. Check the offer information for
individual institutions on pages 18–82 for information about
which institutions will contact you directly.
If you have any enquiries about your scholarship offer, the
associated terms and conditions, or the acceptance process,
contact the institution that has awarded your scholarship.
Unsuccessful applicants
If you haven’t been awarded an Equity Scholarship, you
will receive an email from UAC advising you that you have
correspondence.
If you’re unsuccessful, your application may be considered
in future offer rounds provided the institution at which you
are currently enrolled or from which you have received an
offer of admission is participating in that offer round. Visit
www.uac.edu.au/equity/institution-offers.shtml to check
this information.
You will only receive one unsuccessful outcome (unless your
application has been reassessed, which may occur if you
add a new disadvantage to your application or if you advise
UAC that your circumstances have changed).
If your Equity Scholarships application is unsuccessful in
the 2016–17 admissions period, you’re welcome to re-apply
in future admissions periods, if you meet the scholarship
eligibility criteria of the institution/s to which you are
applying and/or at which you are enrolled.
UAC won’t use any of your previous application material
for subsequent Equity Scholarships applications. You
must submit a new application (and new supporting
documentation if required).
Do not submit more than one ES Online application in the
same admissions period.
Some institutions make Equity Scholarships offers directly
to successful applicants. You may still receive a scholarship
offer from an institution even if you have received an
unsuccessful through UAC. Check the offer information for
individual institutions on pages 18–82 for information about
which institutions will contact you directly.

Equity Scholarships 2016–17
Common terms and
abbreviations
Census date
The date on which all your enrolment requirements must be
finalised. It is the last day you can withdraw from a course
without financial penalty.
Commonwealth-supported place (CSP)
A place in a course to which the Commonwealth Government
contributes towards the cost and you have to pay part of the
cost of your course (a student contribution). Formerly called
HECS places.
Commonwealth-supported students
Students for whom the Commonwealth Government
contributes towards their study costs. These students pay
student contributions.
Continuing students
Students who have an active enrolment at a participating
institution (ie students who are currently enrolled or on
approved leave of absence from their higher education
studies).
Direct applicant
Someone who applies directly to an institution (ie does not
apply for admission through a tertiary admissions centre).
If you’re a direct applicant for admission, ES Online will ask
you to provide your application or reference number given to
you by the institution when you applied. If you don’t have it
you will need to provide information about the course you’ve
applied for.
Domestic fee-paying students (DFEE)
Students who are Australian or New Zealand citizens or
permanent residents of Australia who meet the entire cost
of their studies through tuition fees.
Educational Impact Statement (EIS)
If your application for Equity Scholarships includes a claim for
consideration of a medical disadvantage, you need to arrange
for an Educational Impact Statement to be completed by
a responsible person (see the definition of a ‘Responsible
person’ opposite) who can comment on the impact your
medical condition/disability has, or will have, on your studies.
The EIS is provided in your ‘Scholarships document package’.
Full-time study
Some institutions specify that you must be enrolled
as a full-time student to be eligible for their Institution
Equity Scholarships (IES). Check pages 18–82 for more
information about individual scholarships.
To be considered a full-time student you must be undertaking
a study load that is equivalent to at least 75 per cent of
Equivalent Full Time Study Load (EFTSL).
If your course load falls below 75 per cent of a normal
full-time load, your eligibility status will be reviewed by
the institution. Check each institution website for specific
definitions.
HECS-HELP
A loan for eligible Commonwealth-supported students to pay
their student contributions.
Indigenous Commonwealth Scholarships
Scholarships for Indigenous students funded by the
Australian Government. For information about CS visit
www.uac.edu.au/equity/commonwealth.
Internal student
A student who, for the majority of units of study in which
they’re enrolled in the scholarship period, is required to
attend regular classes on campus.
Medical Impact Statement (MIS)
If your application for Equity Scholarships includes a claim
for consideration of a medical disadvantage, you need to
arrange for a Medical Impact Statement to be completed by
a registered health professional who is treating the medical
condition/disability you have claimed has, or will have, on
your studies. The MIS is provided in your ‘Scholarships
document package’.
Part-time study
To be eligible for most Institution Equity Scholarships you
must be studying full-time, unless there are exceptional
circumstances. Institutions will apply their own policies to
assess your eligibility for scholarship if you are studying parttime. If you have queries about part-time study, you should
contact the institution directly.
Responsible person
Your Educational Impact Statement (EIS) must be completed
by a responsible person. That person must confirm their
relationship to you in the EIS and must not be related to you.
The responsible person must explain how the educational
disadvantage you are experiencing, or will experience,
affects your educational performance.
A responsible person may be a higher education educator,
doctor, specialist medical professional, lawyer, accountant,
social worker, counsellor, religious or community leader.
They must be familiar with your circumstances and able to
comment and provide information about your educational
disadvantage and its effect on your ability to study.
If you’re a 2016 Year 12 applicant, a responsible person
is your school/college principal, counsellor, year adviser or
careers adviser. If you’re unable to have your school complete
the EIS, you must attach an explanation as to why your
school can’t complete the statement and the relationship of
the responsible person to yourself.

In order to maintain ongoing eligibility for your Equity
Scholarship you must:
■ maintain satisfactory academic progress, according to
your institution’s policy
■ continue to meet the eligibility requirements described in
the terms and conditions of the Equity Scholarship and
provide documentary evidence to support your ongoing
eligibility when requested.
Initial deferment of an Equity Scholarship is not permitted.
Students who are awarded an Equity Scholarship and
defer the start of their studies, or withdraw from their
course before their first census date, will forfeit their

It’s your responsibility to advise your institution of any
changes to your circumstances that would make you
ineligible for your Equity Scholarship.
Approved leave
Institutions may approve requests from students to retain
their Equity Scholarship when they’re on approved leave.
Study overseas or through crossinstitutional arrangements
Students who undertake a program of study (a) overseas
or (b) with an institution that has been approved by their
institution through a cross-institutional arrangement as a
Commonwealth-supported student won’t be precluded from
accessing their scholarship during this period, so long as
the program of study is approved by their institution and will
count towards the course requirements in which the student
is enrolled. Students must continue to meet scholarship
eligibility requirements during this period.
Transfer to another institution
If you hold an Equity Scholarship at one institution and you
apply for and receive an offer of admission to a different
institution, your scholarship won’t be automatically
transferred.

college or university, your scholarship will be exempt from

■ you’ve committed serious misconduct (eg provided false
or misleading information)
■ you don’t resume study at the end of an approved
interruption-to-study period.
Grievance procedures
Grievances will be resolved in accordance with the relevant
institution’s policies.
When you apply through UAC you’re assessed in accordance
with each institution’s selection criteria.

may also offer merit-based scholarships to prospective and
current students.

educational disadvantage, merit-based scholarships are
awarded to applicants on a range of criteria such as:
■ school examination results
■ academic excellence
■ Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
■ course/faculty of study
■ personal achievements such as:
– leadership
– creativity
– self-motivation
– communication skills
– outstanding ability in sport.

‘The reality is that children are ‘colour-coded’ based on the body they were
born with. As that child grows, their pre-determined ‘colour’ sets rules and
expectations about what they wear, what hobbies they indulge in, what friends
they make. The gender binary works as a conforming system that shapes
individual and social identity — so how does this affect someone who, in their
heart, cannot align themselves to either side? This person struggles with their
mind and body in a culture that demands blue or pink, but all they can feel is
purple.’ Laura Radwill
