- have at least 60 credit points remaining towards your ECU degree after completion of your overseas study placement;
- be accepted to study at an overseas institution; and

ECU Student Subsidies
ECU students can apply for an ECU student subsidy to help them undertake an overseas study activity as part of their ECU degree. A maximum subsidy of $1500 per student is available. Applications are made through ECU’s Study Abroad and Exchange Office. Download the student subsidy application.
Students already receiving an ECU student subsidy and/or an Australian Government award for an overseas study experience are ineligible for another ECU student subsidy.
