Law & Justice Textbook Access Scheme
The Textbook Access Scheme supports the inclusion and success of students from particular equity groups enrolled in the Faculty’s undergraduate and Juris Doctor programs.
UNSW Law & Justice is proud to partner with leading legal services providers to offer both a financial contribution towards textbook purchases and provide law students with the opportunity to apply for paid professional work experience in the partner firms.
Eligibility has been determined by one of the following Federal Government indices based on student’s residential address as recorded by UNSW Sydney at time of enrolment:
- Statistical Area 1 (SA1) based on a student’s residential address; and/or
- Admissions data relating to UNSW Gateway schools and the UAC Educational Access Scheme.
Identified students receive a notification of eligibility via email and can access the textbook grant simply by using their Student ID at the UNSW Bookshop.
