Fee-HELP is a loan given to eligible fee-paying students to help pay for part or all of their university tuition fees. Students repay their loan through the tax system once their income is above the minimum threshold for compulsory repayment.

Accommodation and residence
The Theological School is not able to offer all students a place of residence or assistance with accommodation in Melbourne, except in the form of general advice.

If you are a full-time student, and especially if you are a candidate for ordination, Trinity has a small number of scholarships for residents. Visit to find shared accommodation and or to find rental accommodation.
Scholarships and financial assistance
Course fees for formal award programs are set by the University of Divinity. Those undertaking the Ministry Formation Program will only be liable for fees for that program, but these can usually be offset by a studentship award, available to ordinands and those in the year of discernment.
The Theological School offers various forms of financial assistance to students studying within the College. Please refer to our theology scholarships page for more information. This includes scholarships for those with financial need, studentships that cover formation program fees for those seeking ordination, and residential scholarships for a limited number of full-time class-based students.
