We don’t want financial capacity to be a barrier for any graduates who want a world-class education.
Thanks to alumni and benefactors, Ormond’s endowment funds enable us to offer generous assistance to students who, for reasons of financial need, would not otherwise be able to enter or remain in College.
Students who would like to come to Ormond but think they cannot afford the fees should discuss their options with us.
Residential fees cover the cost of living, residence and board at Ormond College, including meals, heating, electricity, sport, cultural and social activities as well as the College tutorial and learning programs.
There are three accommodation categories for graduate students and fees vary accordingly.
Graduates have two meal alternatives; all meals (21 p/week), and 7 meals (p/week). Any additional meals are charged at a rate of $8 per meal.
Graduate contracts are made on an annual basis, paid in ten equal installments from February to November. During January and December of the residential year, accommodation is available to graduate students at no additional charge, but with reduced services.
Students applying to live at Ormond College while studying on exchange or study abroad at The University of Melbourne are required to pay their residential fees upfront and prior to arrival.
Ormond is able to accommodate couples in McCaughey Court apartments. One person must be a full time student at The University of Melbourne or its affiliates.
Fees for Graduate residents
Our financial assistance options include scholarships, prizes and bursaries to a total value of over $1,400,000. Around 30% of our students receive some form of financial assistance.
Financial assistance is usually in the form of a ’financial aid package’ consisting of a combination of bursary, scholarship support, and in later years, employment. Financial Assistance is awarded on the basis of financial need, academic excellence and / or outstanding ability.
Late applications will only be considered in exceptional circumstances and are at the discretion of the Master. Please download the application excel file below.
All financial assistance applications are treated in the strictest confidence by the College. We understand that many financial assistance applications contain sensitive information relating to people’s personal and financial situations. The information you provide will only be used on a need-to-know basis by relevant senior staff.
Please note that we are unable to consider any application for financial assistance unless all the information is supplied.
Tutoring is an integral part of the collegiate model. Graduate students who are selected as tutors participate in the tutors’ community of practice to discuss and develop their teaching expertise.
Graduate tutors are paid an hourly rate which depends on the kind of tutorials or consultations they conduct. If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a tutor at Ormond, please discuss with the Admissions team as part of your application and interview process.
