Financial assistance

Deferred payment of fees

Eligible students can apply for FEE-HELP, an initiative of the Australian Government that allows Australian Students not receiving government support to study now and pay later for their tertiary education.

INSEARCH also offers a number of scholarships and prizes that are available to all students. These are offered on the basis of academic performance and cannot be applied for until after commencing studies. These scholarships are awarded as fee credits and cannot be awarded in cash.

The Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship

The scholarship honours the support given to INSEARCH by Professor R D Guthrie, foundation vice-chancellor and president of the University of Technology, Sydney.  It is available to students who complete a INSEARCH diploma and qualify to continue their study in a UTS degree program. It has a value of A$5,000.  It is awarded to the top graduating student of each year.
