Relocation and Travel Support Allowance (Tasmanian residents)

The University of Tasmania is offering a limited number of relocation and travel support packages to assist Tasmanian students with the costs of relocating or travelling within Tasmania to attend University. There are several different support packages from which eligible students are able to select.

Eligibility

Available to Tasmanian residents relocating or travelling within Tasmania to commence full-time study in July 2021 in any undergraduate or postgraduate coursework program. To be eligible, students are required to relocate to study OR have a residential address 50km or more from the campus they will be studying at and be travelling to campus for classes.

Amount

Applicants can select from three types of available support packages:

Option 1: $3,000 relocation/travel allowance (cash payment)

Option 2: $4,000 total: $2,000 relocation/travel allowance (cash payment) plus $2,000 university accommodation subsidy.

Option 3: $5,000 total: $1,000 relocation/travel allowance (cash payment) plus $4,000 university accommodation subsidy.

It will be paid directly to Student Accommodation on behalf of the student. To be eligible for the accommodation subsidy, students must apply for University accommodation at https://www.utas.edu.au/uni-life/accommodation and cover the application fee and bond (these costs are not covered by this support package).
