Postgraduate students who are Australian citizens have access to assistance from the Commonwealth Government’s HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP schemes. Both schemes ensure that students are able to defer the cost of their tuition fees by way of government loans. Australian citizens completing research degrees also have access to other Commonwealth support. Notre Dame’s graduate tuition fees for both domestic and international students are comparable to other Australian universities. Please visit notredame.edu.au/study/fees or contact the Fees Office for more detailed tuition fee information. HECS-HELP Notre Dame offers Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) in selected postgraduate courses. Australian citizens who are allocated a CSP are able to access HECS-HELP and defer all or part of their tuition fees through a Commonwealth Government loan. There is no loan fee applied to HECS-HELP loans. For further information on HECS-HELP, please visit the Australian Government website www.studyassist.gov.au. FEE-HELP Under the FEE-HELP loan scheme, students who are Australian citizens have the option of deferring their tuition fees. FEE-HELP may cover graduate degrees by coursework, coursework and dissertation, or research. FEE-HELP provides an interest-free loan facility. There is no loan fee applied to postgraduate FEE-HELP loans. The deferred payment arrangements allow students to participate in graduate study without having to meet up-front course payment requirements. This program allows students who hold Australian citizenship to borrow all or part of their tuition fees from the Commonwealth Government. The Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) (LLB) on the Fremantle Campus is an undergraduate program and, as a result, FEE-HELP students in this program will incur the Commonwealth 25 per cent surcharge on each course. For further information on FEE-HELP, please visit the Australian Government website www.studyassist.gov.au. AUSTUDY AND ABSTUDY These schemes are operated by the Commonwealth Government and provide financial assistance to eligible students. For further information, please contact Centrelink on 13 23 17 (Youth Allowance, AUSTUDY and ABSTUDY) or refer to the Centrelink website www.humanservices.gov.au/ customer/dhs/centrelink. SCHOLARSHIPS – MAKING DREAMS HAPPEN Notre Dame offers a range of scholarships for postgraduate students. Funded by the University, industry, individuals and not-for-profit organisations, scholarships are available to prospective and current students. While the selection criteria varies for each scholarship, community involvement, leadership roles, as well as academic performance and financial hardship, are considered as part of the application process.
