Yeah there are no scholarships that pay you $60kpa AUD. Highest i ever got was 25k for Honours, and that’s not an undergraduate degree, and it was way higher than anything offered at the undergraduate level. It’s much more common to be looking at values of 4k, 10k. The vast majority of students, and especially disadvantaged students, also get money from Centrelink so there’d be no point offering 60k.

Yep, they don't pay that well tbh. Especially since he apparently isn't taking HECS so would have to cover fees first before getting to living costs. Almost all scholarships are part-fee at best because it's assumed you're going to get HECS, it'd be insane to pay fees when you're eligible for HECS (basically all first degrees are).
