| Details | This is a government fee concession or free program, not a scholarship: it lowers or removes what you pay to study. Eligible students are charged the standard subsidised domestic fee instead of full international student fees. This is a subsidy, not free training, and the pages give no dollar amount. Who can apply
Visa eligibility: Permanent humanitarian visas (200 to 204, 866), temporary visas 449, 785, 786 and 790, and refugees and people seeking asylum on Bridging visas A, B, C or E (Bridging visa D is not listed). Other bridging visas count when the visa applied for is on the eligible list. Among humanitarian visas, only the permanent ones (200 to 204, 851, 866) can get VET Student Loans. How to apply: Apply for a course at CIT, or with a Skilled Capital training provider, and show your visa or ACT Services Access Card at enrolment.
