Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP)

A Commonwealth supported place (CSP) is a place at a higher education provider for which the government pays part of your tuition fees. This support is provided in the form of a subsidy towards some, but not all, of your fees. Students must pay the balance not covered by the subsidy, called the ‘student contribution amount.’ CSPs are available for some Le Cordon Bleu Australia higher education courses. Students should check with a sales representative (applicants) or their Student Services team (current students) to find out if there are CSPs available in your course.
