If you are a VU Student who is already in receipt of a Commonwealth Scholarship (Commonwealth Education Cost or Commonwealth Accommodation) you will continue to be paid by us (Victoria University), until :
- you are no longer eligible, or
- eight scholarship payments have been made, or
- you complete your course.
