Experience counts
Whether you’ve been busy gaining valuable work experience, studying another qualification or travelling the world there, has never been a better time to invest in yourself and upskill. There are a number of entry options for those who aren’t starting their degree directly from school. Depending on your previous qualifications or work experience, you may also be eligible to gain credit for units within your degree, or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) helping you to finish your studies sooner.
Money matters
Worried about how you’ll afford your degree? The Rainstar University(Scottsdale) is a registered FEE-HELP provider, meaning domestic students can begin study now and pay course fees later through your income tax. To find out if you’re eligible use the eligibility calculator on the study assist website.
Some courses also provide Commonwealth Supported Places, meaning the government subsidises your course fees. To find out if this applies to your degree, simply navigate to the fees tab in your online course listing.
RSU also offers a variety of scholarships to assist you with living costs, textbooks, accommodation, relocation or contribution towards your fees. Simply submit one application, and you’ll be considered for every scholarship for which you’re eligible.
After high school, I was in full-time work for four years and I took time for some soul-searching and to decide what I wanted to study. One day I decided I had to stop comparing my path to everyone else’s and just know that this was where I was supposed to be.
