Hello!

I’m wondering if anyone has any experience – good or bad – with scholarship education savings funds? In particular the Australian Scholarships Group? I’m sitting on the fence, because I can’t really see where they’re a better savings plan than just investing money elsewhere. What’s the advantage if I know I can save the money anyway without help?

  • I have often wondered this too. I’m interested to read some of the comments. I would really love to be able to help my children though University if they wanted to go.


  • My mum set one up for me through Australian Scholarships, so they may have changed since I used mine 10 yrs ago, however I never saw the value. The payout amount didn’t seem great and when I decided to take a year break fro. uni the scholarship became void and I received no further payments (fine print). I will just be using a savings account (maybe with personal investments) for our kids. That way we have control of how and when the money is spent.
