Navitas Bursary

Navitas offers financial support in the form of family bursaries. A bursary applies where two or more students from the same family study with a Navitas member institution*.

The first family member can be studying with a Navitas member institution at the same time as other family members, or they may have previously studied with any Navitas member institution. The bursary is granted to the second and subsequent family members who study with a Navitas member institution. For the purpose of this bursary, a family member is defined as a husband, wife, brother, sister, mother, father, son, daughter or stepchild.

The bursary is equivalent to 10 percent of tuition fee for the first attempt at units or courses in the program of study (ie. a certificate#, diploma#, bachelor’s degree, pre-master’s program, postgraduate qualifying program or master’s degree)~ with a Navitas member institution (excluding mixed English option).^ This amount is credited to the eligible student’s tuition fee account each term, with the amount being relevant to the number of units undertaken in that term. The bursary does not apply to additional units or repeat units that may also be undertaken.

A completed application must be submitted to the Navitas institution where the second family member is studying, together with supporting documents such as birth certificate or family card. ∞ Application forms can be obtained from the Navitas institution where the student has enrolled.

* The Navitas bursary applies to students studying at ACN, Curtin College, Curtin University Sydney, Curtin Singapore, CRIC, EIBT, EIC, Eynesbury, FIC, HIBT, ICM, ICP, ICRGU, ICWS, La Trobe Melbourne, LIBT, Macquarie City Campus, MIBT, MIBT Indonesia, PDIC, PIBT, QIBT, SAIBT, SIBT, Navitas at UMass Boston, Navitas at UMass Dartmouth, Navitas at UMass Lowell, Navitas at WKU and Navitas at UNH only.

~ Certificate programs may also be known or registered as Foundation Studies, University Transfer Program Stage I or University Pathway Program Stage I. Diploma programs may also be known or registered as Undergraduate pathway, 1st Year Degree, University Transfer Program Stage II or University Pathway Program Stage II.

^ The Navitas bursary is not applicable to English language program or any component of any English language program offered by Navitas member institutions.

∞ The supporting documentation that is required will depend on the country where the student is enrolled.
