The ANU Students’ Association’s Medical Grant is designed to provide financial assistance to eligible enrolled students requiring medical assistance. The main criteria for this grant are the demonstration of a genuine need for medical treatment and that continued study may be in jeopardy due to financial hardship. The maximum grant available is $500 per semester. 

Eligibility

• Be enrolled as an ANU student. 

• Be able to demonstrate financial need for medical treatment for a medical condition (includes both physical and mental health)

• If the applicant holds an overseas student visa, they must demonstrate a genuine and unforeseen change in financial circumstances that occurred after commencing their program of study, given that visa requirements already require evidence of adequate financial capacity.
