What is EAS (Educational Access Scheme)?
Education Access Scheme (EAS) is a program to help those students whose education has been negatively affected during Year 11 and Year 12 to receive a university offer. You can find out more about the scheme from the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) here https://www.uac.edu.au/future-applicants/scholarships-and-schemes/educational-access-schemes
To apply for EAS you must be able to demonstrate that, as a result of circumstances beyond your control or choosing, your studies were negatively affected for at least six months during Year 11 and/or Year 12. This link describes the categories of disadvantage, the supporting documentation required and frequently asked questions which may assist in submitting an application. Please note that not all courses are eligible for EAS.
Institutions use this to take into account the educational disadvantages many applicants experience. If you think this might apply to you, make sure you complete an EAS application and claim all the disadvantages that have affected your studies. We’ve added categories to help applicants who’ve been affected by a natural disaster, such as a bushfire, and those whose parents/guardians have been receiving JobSeeker or JobKeeper for at least three months
