The University is an active participant in the lives of its communities, helping our regions to better understand themselves and inform decision-making for the future.

how the SCU & cefa partnership works for cefa students

SCU's commitment to helping greater numbers of rural youth achieve their tertiary goals is demonstrated by their Education Partnership with CEFA.

To support those rural students who receive grants from their local education foundations, SCU provides additional financial assistance.

Eligiblity for co-funding from SCU is based on the following criteria:

• Co-funding is only available to students who have received grants from their local Education Foundations and who are currently studying at SCU
• First year students will be given co-funding priority. Any funds remaining after the distribution to first year students will be distributed among students in second, third and fourth year studies.
• Students will receive a dollar-for-dollar grant match unless the total of the grants of all CEFA students at SCU in a particular year is greater than SCU's annual allocation. If the annual limit is exceeded, CEFA will pro-rata the grants and cap co-funding at $1,500.
