Already qualified in early childhood? You could become a university-qualified teacher, mostly from home.

Charles Sturt University has reopened its Connected Early Childhood Pathway scholarship for a second intake, and recent changes to the eligibility criteria mean more people may now qualify. If you hold a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, this NSW Government funded scholarship helps you step up to the Bachelor of Education (Birth to Five Years).

🎓 Your diploma earns you credit for 16 subjects, so you have just two years left.
💻 You study online while you work, with placements often done locally.
💰 The scholarship is worth up to $6,000, with extra support for First Nations, rural, regional and remote students.

Not sure if you qualify, or whether you are eligible for the extra loading? That is exactly what we are here for. Drop into the Hub, give us a call, or send us a message, and we will help you check and get your application sorted.

Heads up to all our Study Hub students caught up in the Canvas outage:

You'll likely have seen by now that Canvas is down globally following a cybersecurity incident affecting Instructure. This is impacting universities worldwide, including many of yours.

A few important reminders:
1. If you have assessments due while Canvas is unavailable, your university is the first point of contact for extensions, rescheduled deadlines, or alternative submission arrangements. Each institution is handling this differently, so keep a close eye on your student email and any official channels your uni uses for updates.

2. Don't assume an extension has been granted automatically. Even in a global outage, most universities will still want you to formally request one through their usual process.

If you're unsure how to word an extension request, or you'd like a hand thinking through what to say, come and see one of our Academic and Student Support Officers on Monday at the Hub. We're happy to sit down with you and work through it together.
