New scholarships for students in higher education

basically if you are undertaking tertiary study and earning YA you'll get the scholarship

I read about these.

Don't you have to pay it back eventually? Like, they duck your pay because Centrelink views it as some form of income?

[johony]

no, why would they? it's a scholarship - not a loan. only if you were illegally receiving YA or any centrelink benefit would they make you pay it back

The only significant change is that the '19k in 18mths' test has been abolished.

The Rudd government has implied that parents earning over $150k are wealthy enough to cough up ~$10k a year per child in order for them to attend university

The worst affected will be those from large families who want to move away to uni and whose families have high parental income but with low disposable incomes (e.g. asset poor post-divorce)
