Who is eligible for First Year Rewards?
First Year Rewards is designed to support new Curtin students from a range of equity backgrounds.
While all first year students are encouraged to participate in their university experience, we recognize that many may face additional barriers. To promote equity, and as an initiative supported by Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program funding, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, students from regional or remote towns and students from low socio-economic postcodes who are new to their course have been given priority enrolment in this program.
We acknowledge that there are many other cohorts of students that can benefit from being part of this program. If you identify with any of the following cohorts and are new to your course/new to Curtin for Semester 1, 2023, you can join the program using the online form below. You will be provided access to the program within two business days of completing the form.
- Students with disability
- Students from non-English speaking backgrounds
- Students of diverse sex, gender and sexuality
- Students first in family to attend university
- Students in financial hardship
- Incarcerated students
- Mature age learners
- Students from refugee / migrant backgrounds
- Students with caring responsibilities
- Women studying in non-traditional areas
For definitions of the above cohorts, please refer to Student Equity and Inclusion Framework [.pdf 840kB].
