Parents and caregivers
Knowing how to support your child’s transition from school to higher education can be hard. Especially if this is your first time. One of the best things you can do is be familiar with the process – choosing a course, applying, finding a scholarship, paying fees. We want you to feel confident offering guidance if your child needs it.
Living on campus is easy and secure.
We offer pathway courses for alternative entry.
We prepare our students for real work.
The supports we have available are second to none.
How to apply
If your child is in year 12 (or finished in the past two years), they must apply for courses via VTAC by the due date. If not, they should apply directly to Federation University.
Alternative entry
If your child doesn’t meet the entry requirements for their dream course, they could consider one of our pathway options. And if their current high school program isn't right for them, VCE Vocational Major at Federation College might be a better fit.
Financial aid
Uni might not be as expensive as you think. There are scholarships, for a start. And government funding, free TAFE options and HELP loans. Find out what your child is eligible for.
