Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS)

ITAS is the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme. It provides supplementary tuition to students studying university award level courses and Australian Qualifications Framework accredited Vocational Education and Training courses at ITAS funded institutions. Tuition is available only for subjects in a student’s formal education program and is not usually available for basic literacy, numeracy, enabling and bridging courses.

ITAS is intended to accelerate educational outcomes for Indigenous Australians beyond those which could reasonably be expected from mainstream funding alone. ITAS aims to improve the educational outcomes of Indigenous tertiary students.
