What is a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP)?
A Commonwealth-Supported Place (CSP) is a place at a higher education provider where the government pays part of your fees. This part is a subsidy, not a loan, and you don’t have to pay it back.
This subsidy does not cover the entire cost of your study. The remaining portion is called the ‘student contribution amount’, the payment of which is paid to SAE for the course.
A CSP is also available to domestic students – Australian Citizens and Permanent residents.
How do I find out more about CSP?
The Australian Government has information on the Study Assist website and this includes a fact sheet on CSP and HECS-HELP.
Visit the Study Assist website for more information.
