Need money?
Student exchange is more affordable than you may think. Curtin offers a variety of travel grants and all eligible exchange students are automatically considered – no need for a separate application!
While there is no guarantee that you will receive funding (and you MUST NOT rely on these grants to fund your overseas experience), ALL students who meet the criteria will be considered once a completed exchange application has been received.
To be eligible for a travel grant, you must:
- Have a course weighted average of greater than or equal to 65 (60 - 64.9 will be considered under exceptional circumstances)
- Complete a minimum duration abroad of one semester/trimester (depending on course of study).
