Indigenous Student Support

The Faculty of Law, Business and the Creative Arts encourages and supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to undertake studies at James Cook University.

JCU values the contribution made to campus life and the university community by Indigenous staff, students and the wider Indigenous community.

The Faculty of Law, Business and the Creative Arts is particularly committed to providing successful pathways for Indigenous students and employs full-time Indigenous Support Officers on both the Townsville and Cairns Campuses to assist Indigenous students with academic, financial and mentoring support. Just some of the many resources available are listed below.

Resources Include:

  • Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS)

  • Help with Indigenous Cadetship Support (ICS), which provides supplementary wage and work experience for full-time students

  • Scholarships and Bursaries

  • Textbook and laptop hire

  • Library support
