If you're selected to receive a scholarship, your scholarship letter of offer or terms and conditions will list the applicable eligibility and special conditions.

If you're a part-time student, scholarships are generally taxable and will need to be declared as taxable income. Visit the Australian Taxation Office website for more information on whether your scholarship is taxable.
