Domestic students starting an Alphacrucis (AC) University College Education course in 2026 qualify for a limited number of CSPs made available by the Australian Government.
If you are successful in receiving a 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.

This means that the Australian Government pays part of your fees towards your program, therefore reducing your program fees, and the remaining amount is paid by you, this is considered your “student contribution”.
In 2026, CSPs are available to students starting our Education courses. These courses include:

The student contribution (what you pay) depends on what you qualify for in relation to CSPs and Alphacrucis scholarships.

Some students may be eligible to study through one of the Alphacrucis partner Teaching Schools Hubs. Domestic students studying through an AC hub can also qualify for CSP.
