Fees & scholarships
Your fees explained
The Uni Ready Enabling Program is free for you, supported by the Australian Government’s ‘FEE-FREE Uni Ready Courses’ initiative. All students in the Uni Ready Enabling Program will enrol in a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), which are university places subsidised by the Australian Government.
You won’t need to make any student contributions or access HECS-HELP, or pay the Student Service and Amenities Fee (SSAF). There may, however, be non-tuition fees and other expenses associated with your course. Please see more information about tuition fees and the University tuition fee terms and conditions.
Fees for further study after the program
Below is information for students who enrol in the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Commerce after completing the Uni Ready Enabling Program.
What fees will I pay?
As a domestic undergraduate student, you will enrol in a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), which is subsidised by the Australian Government. You’ll still need to pay a student contribution amount. This fee is organised in bands based on the discipline area of the subjects that you take, not the course you are studying. The discipline fees are set each year by the Australian Government.
You can pay your student contribution amount to the University when you enrol (upfront), or you can defer this cost through the Australian Government’s Higher Education Loan Program (HECS-HELP) if you’re eligible.
HECS-HELP
HECS-HELP is the Australian Government’s Higher Education Loan Program. It enables you to borrow the amount of your student contribution and then pay that loan back once you are in the workforce and earning at a specified level. A HECS-HELP loan is not means tested.
HECS-HELP is available to eligible Australian citizens and permanent humanitarian visa holders who are enrolled in a CSP.
Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF)
Student Service and Amenities Fee (SSAF) funds are used to provide a wide range of services and amenities for students, and to support student-focused initiatives.
Generally, all students who are enrolled in 12.5 points (usually 1 subject or 0.125 EFTSL) study load or greater across the calendar year pay the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
SA-HELP, a government funded loan scheme, is available to help eligible students pay all or part of their SSAF.
The Government’s Study Assist website provides more information about Commonwealth Supported Places, HECS-HELP and SA-HELP.
Other financial assistance
The University's Student Financial Aid Service can provide you with advice and information on student loans and bursaries/grants, and can connect you to other student support services.
Scholarships
If you’re accepted into the Uni Ready Enabling Program, you’ll automatically be considered for the Narrm Scholarship. This scholarship supports students experiencing disadvantage and Indigenous students, offering a living allowance of $6,500 per year while you are enrolled in the Uni Ready Enabling Program or a bachelor degree at the University of Melbourne. You can receive the allowance for up to five years.
