SCHOLARSHIPS & BURSARIES
We don’t want the financial capacity to be a barrier for any students looking to study at university in Adelaide and live at Lincoln. Applications for scholarships are now open. We have a limited number of university student accommodation places for 2021. Apply today so you don’t miss out.
The heart of Lincoln has always required that we find a table for all who seek to join us. Thanks to former students and other benefactors, we are able to offer scholarships and bursaries to students, who for reasons of financial need would not otherwise be able to enter or remain at Lincoln. Scholarships and bursaries are available to new residents on the basis of academic excellence, financial need and contribution to the community life at Lincoln.
Lincoln is also committed to supporting Indigenous students with our Indigenous Living Allowance bursary.
Students who would like to live at Lincoln, but think they cannot afford the fees should contact us to discuss their options.

Henderson Country Student Entry Scholarship
The Ben Henderson Country Student Scholarships were specifically created for rural South Australian students attending university in Adelaide and living at Lincoln College.
The Henderson Country Student Entry Scholarship requires the recipient to meet the financial need criterion (a hurdle criterion), whilst exemplifying the notion of “good character”, academic competency and contribution to community life. Benefactor Ben Henderson’s intention was to give others a chance to succeed and to “do good” in the world.

OFF MY SHOULDERS

huge financial load, but having
the Reverend Dr Geoff Scott

allowed me to reduce the cost
of living here”.

ENTRANCE BURSARIES
The Lincoln Bursary Scheme aims to give financial assistance to eligible residents at Lincoln towards their student accommodation fees. In particular, we realise that different financial pressures apply to distinct groups and their families within the College demographic such as:
- Residents who are in genuine financial need
- Residents from remote areas who have to move away from home to study
- Residents with a disability
For new residents at Lincoln College: a number of Bursaries of 4-6 weeks accommodation rebate are available to residents, who can demonstrate that they are in financial need.
