During the year, we offer a selection of scholarships to health students across our footprint.
We currently have six scholarships available to provide financial support to students undertaking a Charles Sturt University health course that we support.
These scholarships are open to all age groups.
Applications close on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 11.59pm for all scholarships.
Is your home residence within our footprint? Are you undertaking a Charles Sturt University health course we support?
Our rural and remote student scholarships will help you focus on your studies, attend intensive schools, and gain practical experience through rural workplace learning, supporting your pathway to a career in rural health.
Priority will be given to applicants whose home residence is in a rural, remote, or very remote region within our footprint, in line with the Modified Monash Model. This includes students who relocate away from their home residence for study, e.g. to campus accommodation.
This scholarship supports students commencing their studies in 2026 in any of the Charles Sturt University allied health courses we support. When applying, you will be asked to share ways you are involved in your community and reflect on how becoming an allied health worker will impact the region you live in.

Do you have a genuine and authentic interest in improving the health and wellbeing of our aging population?
Rural areas have significant aging populations, and there are a range of opportunities for students across different health professions to apply their skills and knowledge and practice in rural health and aged care settings. These scholarships provide Charles Sturt University students in allied health, nursing, and dentistry courses we support with the opportunity to participate in workplace learning focused on aged care.
To be eligible for these scholarships, your home residence must be within the postcodes of 2732, 2712, 2707, 2710, 2713, 2716, 2735, 2731, 2733, 2734, 2714, or 2736. If you relocate away from your home for study, e.g. to campus accommodation, you are still eligible.
These scholarships support you as you begin your journey to a career in health. You are expected to reflect on and provide your thoughts on the importance of accessibility to health services and providers, and how this impacts your community, with consideration to the aging population.
