What is a scholarship or bursary?

At Trinity Residential College, we offer scholarships and bursaries to provide financial assistance and help make living at the College more accessible.

Scholarships generally recognise academic achievement, talent and contribution to the community, while bursaries provide support to students experiencing financial need.

These awards are offered for one academic year only, with the opportunity to reapply for further financial support as a current resident in subsequent years.

To help us continue fostering academic excellence and access to education, please consider making a donation to support our scholarship and bursary initiatives.

International students may also be eligible for additional support through initiatives offered by StudyPerth and the WA Government.

University Scholarships

Your university may also offer scholarships to help with study and living costs, some of which include dedicated funding towards accommodation fees. We recommend exploring the opportunities available at your chosen institution:

    "Receiving the scholarship has helped me make the most of my time at university."

    Thanks to the Trinity Residential College Thrive Award, I have been able to ease my financial strain and dedicate more attention to my academic work. The support helped me purchase essential equipment for my degree and gave me the time to engage more fully in both the academic opportunities and community life at College. Thanks to this, I feel more present, less overwhelmed and able to make the most of everything college life has to offer.
