A Wimmera university will provide weekly financial assistance for its TAFE students feeling the effects of COVID-19.
Federation University announced TAFE students experiencing financial hardship due to the pandemic could receive up to $300 a week for two weeks.
Students who have had their hours of employment reduced as a result of COVID-19 or are unable to work due to self-isolation and have limited or no provision of personal or annual leave are eligible for the two weekly payments.
Federation University vice-chancellor Helen Bartlett said financial support would ensure students had a better chance of completing their studies through the pandemic.
