Domestic students commencing an Alphacrucis (AC) Education course between 2023 and 2026 may qualify for a limited number of Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) made available by the Australian Government.
If you are successful in receiving a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), the “student contribution” you pay as part of the total fees for your course is significantly reduced. If you qualify for FEE-HELP, this can be used to defer payment of your student contribution.
Alphacrucis (AC) University College has been allocated a number of Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) for 2023–2026 that may be applied to students commencing our Education courses. These courses include:
These CSPs are intended to create more opportunities for students from under-represented groups to access higher education and enter the teaching profession.
The student contribution (what you pay) depends on what you qualify for in relation to CSPs and Alphacrucis scholarships.
Whilst student contributions are the fees you pay for your course, please note that if you also qualify for FEE-HELP, this can be used to defer payment of your student contributions.
Student contribution – Full amount (no CSP)
$2,579 per subject.
Student contribution – After CSP applied
If you qualify for a CSP: $592 per subject.
Note: If you don’t qualify for a CSP, you may be eligible for one of our other scholarships. Scholarships will only be considered for those who do not qualify for a CSP.
Student contribution – With scholarships (no CSP applied)
If you do not qualify for a CSP and are over 21 at the time of application, you will automatically qualify for an Education Scholarship that will reduce the student fee to: $2,425 per subject.
If you do not qualify for a CSP and are under 21 at the time of application, you may qualify for one of our Next Gen scholarships which will reduce the student fee to: $2,000 per subject.
Talk to us to find out if you qualify.
Some students may be eligible to study through one of the Alphacrucis Teaching Schools Hubs. Any fee support is not guaranteed and varies by hub. Once you are offered a place within a Teaching Schools Hub, the hub will confirm any applicable fee support directly with you.

* Note: fees may vary slightly from the amounts above. Check the latest fees on the relevant course page for the most up-to-date information.
If you don’t qualify for a CSP you will be automatically considered for an AC scholarship as part of your application.
Placements in our hubs are highly competitive and limited. If you’re not successful in joining one of our Hubs, you can still study an education degree with AC. You will receive AC’s unique benefits of a highly practical course that also integrates a faith-based worldview into the content and teaching, with all the required placements in schools, but you will not necessarily be placed in a school throughout your course as outlined in the Hub Model brochure. You can talk to our Future Students team about the differences and what might suit you best.
If for some reason you need to reduce your hours or defer your study, this should first be discussed with your Program Director and if you are in a Hub, also discussed with your school. AC will work towards the best outcome with you for this, but please note this may impact any CSP contribution for your course.
