• enrolled in an undergraduate, associate degree course or UniLink course at Swinburne;
• enrolled full time (exceptional circumstances for studying part-time will be considered), and actively studying in the course this Semester/Term/HE Block;

Previous recipients of this grant or Lenovo laptop grant are ineligible to apply for it again, or if you received a Student Equity grant or scholarship in Semester 1, 2022.

If you are a Swinburne Online or Open Universities Australia student, you can apply if you are on a Commonwealth Supported Place and meet the above criteria.

Please note:  Many financially disadvantaged students apply and there is no guarantee that you will be successful and so you cannot rely on receiving this grant/scholarship.

Approximately $3,312.

Multiple grants are available.

This grant is no longer being offered by Swinburne Student Equity. It has been replaced by the Study and Living Support Grant.
