How does my scholarship affect my Centrelink benefit?
Updated 22/01/2021 12.57 PMScholarship payments are generally not counted as income for the purpose of the social security income test, providing you are a full-time student and the scholarship directly contributes to your study. Please refer to the ‘Exempt equity and merit-based scholarships’ section. It is recommended that you advise Centrelink that you will be receiving a scholarship and the amount you will receive.
