Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS)
The Woolyungah Indigenous Centre facilitates the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS) for Indigenous students at the University of Wollongong. Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS) is an academic initiative of the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) which aims to improve the educational outcomes for Indigenous students at UOW. DEST funding covers the costs associated with providing tutors and there is no charge to the students themselves. Qualified tutors provide one to one or small group tuition in subject specific areas. Student Application forms and Tutor Retainer Agreements can be downloaded from the web (PDF format) or alternatively can be obtained from the WIC Reception. ITAS Officer is available to provide further assistance to students and prospective tutors enquiring about the program.
To be eligible for ITAS, a student must:
- Be of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent, and
- Identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, and
- Be accepted as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander in the community in which he/she lives or has lived.
A student must also be enrolled, full time or part time or by any mode of distance education, in a formal course of study leading to a certificate, diploma, degree or other qualification at the University of Wollongong.
