Tertiary Access Payment applications are currently being accepted from suitably qualified students. It is a fully-funded scholarship available to all Flinders University students.

About the Scholarship

School leavers from an inner-regional, outer-regional, or remote area who are relocating to study at a higher education institution and whose home is more than 90 minutes away from their education provider are eligible for the Tertiary Access Payment (TAP), which is provided by the Commonwealth Government and is available to them. TAP is funded by the Commonwealth Government.

This payment aids high school graduates from rural and distant areas with the additional expenses that are connected with transferring to a new city in order to pursue a university education. Additionally, it provides financial assistance for the first year of study. The cash will help contribute toward day-to-day expenses as well as school costs.

The Tertiary Access Program (TAP) provides financial assistance to students who are enrolled full-time at the University of Adelaide in an undergraduate program of study and who are entering tertiary education in the year immediately following the completion of their Year 12 (or equivalent) education.

The Tertiary Access Payment (TAP) was created by the Commonwealth government to support the Government’s initiative to strengthen tertiary education in regional and remote Australia. The TAP is a one-time payment of $5,000 maximum. It is intended to assist eligible students with moving expenses. This is for study beyond the 12th grade or equivalent.
