How Much To Send School Girl To College In Australia

The United States has always known to be the land of opportunity. But Australia can also make that claim. It is blessed with natural resources, surrounded by water, while underneath, it boasts of abundant mineral resources.

The government also makes sure to empower its citizens by laying down the foundation for them to have access to education. Australia has about 43 universities in the country, along with other higher institutions, so you do not have a dearth of choices. The only problem, therefore, would be the cost of tuition and other miscellaneous expenses.

Fortunately, there are girls scholarships available for talented and deserving but impoverished students. Most of these scholarships are open to an Australia citizen or a permanent resident, although there are also programs dedicated to refugees or international students. After all, Australia, like the United States and the UK, is one of the most popular destinations for quality education. For instance, there are more than 600,000 international students in the country as of the latest data.

 

Australia as a model

Not many people are aware that Australia was actually the model of the United States for its student loan program. Unlike the US, however, graduates are able to pay off their debts to the government because of better employment after they graduate, which means higher wages. Australia did not even implement a loan forgiveness program because of this reason.

But there is a clear problem that needs to be addressed. A significant number of Australian high school students, particularly females, could not afford to go to college due to their poor financial situation.

For example, the 2017 Student Finances Survey revealed that more than 1 in 10 students could not afford food on a regular basis. Meanwhile, more than 5 in 10 of them said that they always worry about their financial situation, which means that they could stop school anytime. About 3 in 10 were working and they admitted that their employment had affected their studies.

 

How Much Does It Cost Anyway?

If a college girl has not applied for girl’s scholarships, paying for tuition and other expenses is a burden. A university in Australia will cost between $20,000 and $55,000 to earn an undergraduate degree. Australian citizens in public schools will pay less since their education is subsidised. But it is not totally free. They would pay it back when it becomes due by the time you reach a specific income level.

Just for information, International students, meanwhile, pay more tuition compared to Australian citizens or permanent residents.

As you might expect, disadvantaged girls could not afford to pay for the cost of going to university. They have two other options–either seek employment to become working students or stop schooling altogether and go straight to work. In fact, according to the 2017 survey, 8 in 10 of Australian students are in paid employment.

But girls on a scholarship enjoy other advantages, as well. Aside from financial support, they also have access to tutoring or coaching, which allows them to compete at the highest levels. Of course, they need this because their scholarships hinge on their grades in the university. Also, they are more likely to finish their course. Research has shown that a girl earns about 25% more for each year of further education. She will also be more appreciative of the value of education, which means that she would ensure that her children will also have an excellent foundation, as well. Hopefully, it will break the cycle of poverty and lead to a more prosperous society.
