Murdoch University Village invites future students to apply for the Murdoch University Village Scholarship Program. Ten accommodation scholarships are available to first year students who are planning to enrol in an undergraduate course of study at Murdoch University in 2013. Accommodation will be allocated in a twin share room and the scholarship funds cannot be used to upgrade to another room type. The aim of the program is to assist students who require financial support in order to live in Murdoch University Village and attend Murdoch University.
The Murdoch University Village Scholarship Program will cover the residential fees from 4 February to 24 November 2013 at Murdoch University Village (estimated total value of $5838 per student over 42 weeks). The Scholarship Program does not include the 4 week security deposit that is required to secure your accommodation at Murdoch University Village.
NOTE: Successful students will not personally receive the funding but will have their accommodation costs paid directly by Murdoch University Village.
