Indigenous Student Support and Development

Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS)

ITAS arranges for qualified tutors to help students with their studies whether it be essay writing skills or any other relevant areas of study. ITAS is aimed at providing Indigenous students enrolled in tertiary studies with supplementary assistance where regular support systems are insufficient to meet a specific educational need of Indigenous students. This aim is met by facilitating the employment of suitably qualified tutors to assist in personal or group tutorials.

For more information please contact the ITAS Coordinator, Rebecca Jacobs.

Scholarships and Accommodation
