$5,000 support for outer regional school leavers
Outer regional and remote students who need to relocate to study can still apply for a $5,000 support payment under the Morrison-McCormack Government’s Tertiary Access Payment (TAP).
Minister for Education and Youth Alan Tudge said the payments would help students who had to relocate more than 90 minutes from their home for full-time tertiary study.
“We know it can be tough for kids in remote areas to get a tertiary qualification, simply because of where they live and the additional financial burden of relocating to study,” Minister Tudge said.
“A $5,000 helping hand will make all the difference for young Australians who are leaving home to study and will help cover costs like accommodation, groceries, bills and textbooks.
