Department of Education Student Assistance Scheme (STAS)
The Student Assistance Scheme (STAS) provides assistance for families with low income towards the cost of school levies and is available for students attending a Tasmanian government school or registered non-government school. Eligibility is determined by an income test which all applicants must satisfy. Application forms for 2020 are now available at the school office (or using the link below). If you were accepted in the scheme for 2019, you do not need to reapply for 2020. If you did not apply for STAS in 2019 and think you may be eligible: you will need to complete a STAS Application Form and provide documentation giving proof of the families combined taxable income - we can make copies for you. Your eligibility to apply for STAS can be determined from the table below. Regardless of how many children you have, you only need to fill in one form. Please complete and return the form to the school as soon as possible to ensure that your application is approved before the start of the 2020 school year.
