It depends only on your school. Graduating from a recognised AC partner school: the 25% Build a Bridge Partner School Scholarship. Graduating from any other school: the 20% NextGen Scholarship. You're automatically assessed from your standard course application. Your Year 12 report is how we verify your school, and there's no separate scholarship form to fill in.
No. Eligibility is based on school leaver status, not age or marks. If you're starting at AC straight from Year 12, with no gap years in between, you're eligible for one of the two. You don't need to be dux of your school. This isn't solely academic-merit based. It's about giving faithful, motivated young people a chance.
Every undergraduate course at AC, from Diplomas through to Bachelor degrees, across all faculties, on campus or online, full-time or part-time, provided you enrol directly with AC. External pathway cohorts or third-party arrangements (such as Youth Alive school leavers) are excluded.
Yes. Both scholarships are open to domestic and international students. International Build a Bridge applicants must graduate from an approved partner school.
Yes. Both scholarships apply regardless of tuition payment method, including direct payment and FEE-HELP loans. Used alongside a Commonwealth Supported Place, the government subsidises the bulk of your degree and the scholarship steps in to cover the remaining student contribution, often leaving minimal, if any, tuition fees to pay.
We have a limited number of scholarships available each year, allocated on a rolling basis. However, essentially every qualified applicant who applies on time has a very strong chance of receiving one, which is exactly why we encourage early applications.
It covers the standard duration of the first course you enrol in when you leave school, whether that's a one-year Diploma or a full Bachelor degree.
The scholarship applies to your first course of enrolment only. It does not automatically transfer or extend into articulation pathways, such as moving from a Diploma of Ministry into a Bachelor of Ministry. If you're weighing up a Diploma pathway, enrolling directly into a Bachelor degree from the outset maximises your scholarship coverage.
Failing units: won't forfeit the scholarship, provided you maintain the academic progression required to remain enrolled. It's renewable each session based on satisfactory academic progress and conduct. If you withdraw or are excluded from the course, the scholarship is permanently terminated.
Changing course: if you transfer to an entirely different field of study you remain eligible, provided you maintain continuous study from when you left school. Course changes are subject to a strict internal cap on total credit points funded.
Deferring: a maximum 12-month deferral is permitted. If active, continuous study is not resumed within one year, the scholarship is forfeited.
