The C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship can help Australian students meet the cost of living in a residential college while attending university. The 2027 application round is open.
What the opportunity provides
The Australian undergraduate route provides residential college support worth up to A$90,000, normally spread across three years. This is accommodation funding, not a waiver of university tuition. A separate, exceptional one-year Cambridge postgraduate route exists; the undergraduate funding figure should not be applied to it.
Who can apply
Applicants must be Australian citizens. The scheme generally supports students beginning university, although exceptional current undergraduates may be considered. Selection takes account of academic achievement, leadership and service to the community. An award depends on acceptance by an eligible university and college.
How to apply
Use the provider’s application instructions to check the participating institutions and the evidence requested for the relevant route. A gap-year deferral is not available. Do not assume that acceptance by a university alone meets the residential-college conditions.
Deadline
Applications close on December 1, 2026 at 17:00. The source does not identify the timezone, so applicants should confirm it and avoid leaving submission to the final day.
