Financial Aid
For eligible citizens of some countries, financial aid is available mostly in the form of a government or private loan, to study in Australia.
The following countries have financial aid programs where JCU is registered to administer loans on your behalf. For more information please click on the links below.
If your country is not listed here, we encourage you to explore financial aid options directly within your home country.
Sponsored Students
Students who have a scholarship or company paying the university fees on their behalf will need to seek approval of the sponsorship prior to commencement of studies. JCU is unable to issue an invoice to a third party unless we have an approved student sponsor agreement.
Official sponsorships can only be established between the University and an organisation (e.g. foreign university, government or business). Personal or family related sponsorships cannot be officiated.
