Relocation Scholarship

The Relocation Scholarship is a payment made once a year to help students in higher education who live away from their family home while studying.

If you have to live away from your family home to study at a higher education institution, you may be able to get financial help through the Relocation Scholarship. This is available if you are getting ABSTUDY Living Allowance or Youth Allowance as a full time student. You also need to be:

• studying full time in an approved scholarship course
• be a dependent person who has to live away from home to study
• meet specific scholarship independence criteria

When you make a claim for a Centrelink payment, Centrelink will decide if you can get the Relocation Scholarship. You do not have to make a separate claim.
