Stipend and allowance rates

All values below are in Australian dollars (AUD$).

Scholarship payments are made fortnightly. There are 10 paid days in a fortnight (including public holidays). The fortnightly rate is determined using a formula (i.e. stipend rate / no. of paid days x 10). In 2026 the number of paid days equates to 261. The formula is used to ensure that awardees do not receive less than the advertised annual rate if they are enrolled for the full-year.

Payments for part-time scholarships are half the full-time rate (when claiming the tax-free threshold).
