Further Scholarships Information
Basic Scholarship - Session 1
Scholarship forms are sent out to applicants applying for full time on-campus study once CSU has received confirmation from NSW Police Recruitment that the Professional Suitability Assessment has been lodged. Applicants are invited to apply for a CSU Policing Scholarship using this form. To be considered eligible for a scholarship, the applicant must satisfy all the criteria to be made an offer to study the Associate Degree in Policing Practice.
Please note that receipt of a scholarship application form does not automatically indicate that the recipient will receive an offer of admission.
Please be aware that about 50% of full-time applicants receive a basic scholarship. They are awarded on a competitive basis, using a combination of academic and professional criteria, to applicants who provide evidence of financial need.
Higher Value Scholarships - Session 1
Higher Value Scholarships may be awarded to applicants who, due to personal financial circumstances, would otherwise not be able to do the course. Applicants would apply for this Higher Value Scholarship using the same Scholarship Application form as above. However, applicants must also provide evidence of need such that, without receipt of the Higher Value Scholarship, they would not be able to undertake the course, e.g. dependent partner and/or children, having to maintain a family home.
Please be aware that only about 10% of full-time on campus applicants receive a Higher Value Scholarship.

Higher Value Scholarships - Session 2
Higher Value Scholarships may also be awarded to DE students who, due to personal financial circumstances, would otherwise not be able to do the course.
