US students
If you receive financial aid from the US government, most of the time you
can transfer it to your Australian institution when you study abroad. For more
information about US government loans, contact a financial aid representative
at your home institution or the Federal Student Aid Information Centre at
1-800-4-FED-AID.
US students on Pell Grants can apply for a Gilman Scholarship which provides
up to USD$5,000 in study abroad funding. Visit www.iie.org/programs/
gilman/ for details.
Canadian students
Many Canadian students are eligible for aid or grants through the Canada
Student Loan Program (www.canlearn.ca). Check with your institution’s
financial aid office to see what aid can be transferred abroad.
Scholarships
For scholarships, visit the Australian Scholarships Database at
www.studyinaustralia.gov.au. This provides an accurate and searchable
list of education awards supplied by Australian-based organisations,
institutions, and governing bodies. Many international and charitable
organisations also offer scholarships for international study.
Health and safety
Australia has a special system of health care cover for international students.
This is called Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) and you are required to
have this for the duration of your student visa in Australia
