Macquarie EPIISOD Accommodation Scholarship: Apply by 7 Jan
Finding affordable housing close to campus is one of the biggest challenges for students moving to Sydney. Macquarie University’s EPIISOD Macquarie Park Accommodation Scholarship (Partial) tackles that cost directly, and applications for 2027 close on Thursday 7 January 2027 at 11:59pm.
What the scholarship offers
The scholarship is co-funded by EPIISOD and the student. It partly subsidises your accommodation fees for 52 weeks at EPIISOD Macquarie Park, a purpose-built student residence a short walk from the Macquarie campus and a few minutes by metro from the Sydney CBD.
Instead of paying the full weekly rent, recipients pay a fixed student contribution:
- Type A rooms: $350 per week
- Type B rooms: $250 per week
Payment goes to the accommodation provider, so the saving shows up directly in your rent. The scholarship is awarded for one academic year and may be renewed each year, subject to satisfactory academic progress, continued full-time enrolment, following EPIISOD’s residency conditions and continued funding from EPIISOD.
Who can apply
Macquarie’s scholarship page lists these main requirements:
- Be a commencing or continuing full-time student, international or domestic
- Be enrolled in an undergraduate or postgraduate degree at Macquarie University in Session 1, 2027
- Be at least 18 years old when the accommodation period starts
- Show academic motivation and satisfactory academic progress
The scholarship is open to students in any course, so it suits new arrivals starting in February as well as current Macquarie students who want to move closer to campus.
How to apply
There are 3 parts to a complete application:
- Fill in Macquarie’s online application form for the EPIISOD Macquarie Park Accommodation Scholarships
- Write a personal statement covering your motivation, resilience and contribution to the community
- Apply directly to EPIISOD Macquarie Park for a 52-week tenancy
Give yourself time for the personal statement. It is your chance to show the selection panel why living in this community will help your studies, so draft it early and ask someone to read it before you submit.
Key dates
- Applications close: Thursday 7 January 2027, 11:59pm (Sydney time)
- Study period: Session 1, 2027 (full-time enrolment required)
- Accommodation term: 52 weeks
Why it matters
Rent is usually the largest weekly cost for international students in Sydney. Locking in a weekly contribution of $250 or $350 for a full year makes budgeting much easier, and living a short walk from campus also saves travel time and money.
Next steps
If you have an offer from Macquarie, or you are about to apply for Session 1, 2027, check your eligibility now and start your personal statement. If you have not yet applied for your course, there is still time to plan a February start, but the January closing date leaves little room for delays.
