ABOUT FLINDERS UNIVERSITY

Flinders University enjoys a well-justified reputation for its excellence in teaching and research. It has a long-standing commitment to enhancing educational opportunities for all and a proud record of community engagement.

Since being established in 1966, Flinders has achieved much of which we can be very proud: in innovative research, in high quality teaching and in community engagement.

We have led the way in providing access to higher education for individuals who did not traditionally aspire to University.

We have attracted students from over 100 countries and our alumni have built careers and lives that enrich communities across Australia and throughout the world.

Flinders' achievements are underpinned by the network of strong external links that we have developed with our stakeholders and with the communities we serve. We commit to being a university that is outwardly engaged, continuing to build the supportive and valued relationships which will be vital for the future.
 

how the FLINDERS & cefa partnership works for cefa students

Flinders' 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, Flinders provides additional financial assistance.

Eligiblity for co-funding from Flinders 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 Flinders
• 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 Flinders in a particular year is greater than Flinders' annual allocation. If the annual limit is exceeded, CEFA will pro-rata the grants and cap co-funding at $1,500.
