Most Australian students will be studying in a Commonwealth supported place (CSP), where the Australian Government makes a contribution to the cost of your child’s study, and your child then pays the ‘student contribution’. Depending on the course, a CSP undergraduate student at ACU in 2020 pays between $6,680 and $11,152 per year of study. These fees may change for 2021.

Eligible Australian students pay their student contribution through the HECS-HELP scheme.

Alternatively, your child can pay their student contribution upfront by the due date. There is also a range of other loan schemes and government financial assistance available.

Your child is welcome to apply for as many scholarships as they like. Our new scholarship portal allows prospective students to create a profile that indicates which scholarships are most relevant to them.
To create even more opportunities for our students, we've developed our COF scholarships. Valued at $4,000 each, they are designed to support your child to achieve their goals, no matter what circumstances they may be facing. And unlike many equity scholarships, our eligibility criteria are flexible, so we can provide support where it’s needed most.
