Sponsorship

What is sponsorship?

Sponsorship means full or partial payment of tuition fees by an external sponsor (e.g. employer, foreign government)

Sponsorship by an organisation outside ECU must be formally arranged with the Student Fees Office in order for the organisation to be invoiced directly for your tuition fees.

Your sponsor may nominate to pay your tuition fees for an entire teaching period, particular units of study or for a particular amount or percentage of the tuition fee.

As a sponsored student, invoices for tuition fees will then be forwarded directly to your sponsor.

The invoice issued to your sponsor will include:

  • your name
  • student ID
  • course and unit details and;
  • the cost of each unit in which you are enrolled in the particular teaching period

How do I arrange a Sponsor Invoice?

For sponsorship of tuition fees by an ECU School, please contact your School directly.
