The Capstone Editing Textbook Grant for Undergraduates
A grant aimed at easing the burden placed on students by the high cost of textbooks and ensuring they have the resources they need to succeed in their studies.
Overview
The Capstone Editing Textbook Grant provides A$3,000 to one undergraduate student per year to assist in covering the cost of their textbooks for the duration of their degree.
As textbook prices continue to rise, many students are having to choose between buying textbooks and covering their daily living expenses. With the average cost of a textbook at Australian universities exceeding $100, and many courses requiring multiple textbooks, our Textbook Grant can seriously reduce the financial burden associated with the start of semester.
The grant is provided in the form of one $1,000 gift voucher per year for three years (so long as you remain a student) to a book store of your choice. The grant recipient will be free to purchase any books they feel they need for their studies.
Capstone Editing also supports students by providing high-quality thesis editing and academic editing. Please consider using Capstone Editing for your academic editing needs if you continue in your studies to complete an Honours thesis or further postgraduate studies.
Eligibility
Before applying for this scholarship, please check your eligibility against these criteria:
- You must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree at an Australian or New Zealand university to be eligible to be awarded the grant.
- You cannot apply if you are an employee or contractor of Capstone Editing (or a family member of an employee or contractor).
- You can be studying internally or externally.
- You can be a domestic or international student.
- The grant is primarily for full-time students. If you are studying part-time, you are only eligible to apply if you can demonstrate carer commitments or a medical condition that prohibit you from studying full time.
- You must be a full-time student for the duration of the grant. You will receive one $1,000 gift voucher per year for three years, so long as you are studying full-time during those years (you are still eligible if you become a postgraduate student during that time).
