Access and equity scholarships

Deakin offers a range of generous scholarships for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to support them in their studies at the University. These scholarships are available to students from recognised equity groups including those from financially disadvantaged backgrounds and for students who come from a rural or isolated area.

True access, genuine equity
Access to higher education can have a profound impact on people. Education is the key to social, cultural and economic prosperity. Yet access to higher education can be costly.

That is why at Deakin University we use our best endeavours to make higher education accessible for those in most need of assistance.

Deakin has a broad range of scholarships that offer true access and genuine equity for the life of the course.

Deakin University acknowledges the traditional land owners of present campus sites.
