If you are a student planning to study/currently studying at our Sydney Campus in NSW, you may be eligible for this scholarship.
The Tertiary Access Payment (TAP) is a one off payment of up to $5,000. It’s to help eligible students with the cost of moving to study. This is for study after you’ve finished year 12 or equivalent.
School leavers and students up to 22 years of age who begin their tertiary studies after taking a break following year 12 can apply for the TAP. Eligible students can conveniently apply through Services Australia. There is a step-by-step guide to claiming on the Services Australia website.
Moving away from home can be expensive and the TAP helps ease the costs for eligible students moving to study. The TAP can help pay for things like rent or bond for accommodation, household bills, groceries, textbooks, or other study supplies.
Promotion Products Pty. Ltd. has been a Brisbane-based market leader in the promotional marketing industry for over 21 years. We value the role of education in our community, and believe in supporting those who may need a little financial assistance in attaining further education. We recognize that many students suffer from financial strain during their time in tertiary education, and by offering this scholarship we wish to continue to support and grow the skills of the next generation who will enact positive change in their community.
We are offering a bi-annual scholarship to an eligible student currently studying at an Australian University or Further Education College, to assist them with the cost of living and the expenses of being a full-time or part-time student. This scholarship will be awarded and paid each February and August, and while multiple applications are accepted, each winner may only receive the scholarship funds once in order to provide a wider net of students with the support they need.
