University Grants Proposal

The Odyssey University grant is focused on offering financial assistance for students, not only from lower socio-economic backgrounds, but also those who have proven academic capability and without assistance from ANZCS may be forced to withdraw from the pursuit of their educational objectives. Applicants should have successfully completed their first year of study.

The award of grants will be based on academic merit and will be subject to a means test. Eligible applicants will be required to provide evidence of their eligibility for an AUSTUDY or ABSTUDY allowance. Applicants will be required to provide their academic record, a letter of support by an academic acquainted with their work and a short statement (one page) as to why they should be considered for a grant.

In 2012, Odyssey will offer three (3) grants, to a maximum of $10,000 per student. Applicants will be required to submit a means-tested application supported by their academic record and a short statement as to why they should be considered. Payments would be made for the academic year in 2012. The grant would be open to students across Australia and New Zealand.
