Swinburne Indigenous Bursaries

The Swinburne Indigenous Bursaries are sponsored by Position Promo, an independent, Aboriginal-owned and operated company.   Established in 2020, the Swinburne Indigenous Bursaries support Swinburne Indigenous students to commence their education.  The one-off bursary payment allows Swinburne Indigenous students to purchase the support materials they require (such as textbooks, journals, laptops or computers, stationary or public transport passes), to ensure that they have everything they need to reach their full potential.
