Commonwealth Supported Places

A Commonwealth supported place (CSP) is an enrolment in a specific course at SAE, where the government pays part of your fees. This is a subsidy, not a loan, and you don’t need to pay it back. Students are only out of pocket the student fee. Find out how you can take advantage of our CSP places.
