Outline
The SSI Allianz Refugee Scholarships directly support people from refugee backgrounds in NSW, QLD & VIC to achieve independence. The scholarships have been created to minimise the financial barriers experienced by refugees as they participate in the NSW, QLD & VIC education system.
SSI, with the generous support of Allianz, continues to achieve its vision of a society that values diversity of its people, actively provides support to ensure meaningful social and economic participation, and assists individuals and families to reach their potential.
SSI & Allianz are offering approximately 30 scholarships for 2023 to individuals across a range of education categories, including University.
The scholarships are open to anyone who meets the eligibility criteria below:
- Be from a refugee or asylum seeker background on the listed visa numbers: 117. 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 449, 786, 842, 866. Applicants on bridging, SHEV 790 or TPV 785 are also eligible to apply but must consider individual circumstances regarding visa obligations and any potential impact to other sources of income.
- Have been living in Australia for five years or less (except for eligible bridging, TPV & SHEV visa holders who now have no time in country limit).
- Reside and study in NSW, QLD or VIC.
- Meet eligibility criteria specific to each scholarship category (see application forms for more details).
- Not have previously received an SSI Allianz Scholarship.
