# What are Commonwealth Suppported Places?

Commonwealth Supported Places, or CSPs, are the most common medical school places. They are offered by all public universities. In these subsidised medical school places, the federal government pays about 80% of the fees and you pay only 20% (about $10,000 per year). This fee, or Student Contribution Amount (SCA) can be paid upfront or taken as a HECS-HELP loan from the government (but it has to be paid back with interest when you start earning).
