• $20,000 The Western Australian Premier’s WACE Bursary 
  
• $5,000 Regional Bursary for TAFE International Students

* Eligibility criteria apply.

50 x $20,000 subsidies available

The Western Australian Premier’s WACE Bursary provides up to 50 successful international Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) graduates with a one-off payment of $20,000 to assist with their living, travel and study expenses. Applications are now open on a rolling basis.

Update - On Monday, 4 September 2023, applications for Round 4 have been paused due to reaching the maximum capacity of subsidies available. No new submissions will be accepted while this Round is paused.

The Western Australian Government International Student Accommodation Subsidy will provide eligible international students with a one-off $1,500 payment to help them set up a home in WA and alleviate expenses like rent and furniture. 

Funds available for Round 4 are limited. Please ensure you read and complete all the required information and documentation carefully.
