Benefit
The scholarship is based on a fixed value for each year of study under a standard full-time study load (80 units) apportioned over each course taken.
The annual scholarship value AUD $6000. As a course unit value (based on 10 units) this is AUD $750 per course.
The maximum value would be AU$24,000 over a full-time 4-year degree.
The scholarship will be administered for each term of study in the eligible program(s) as a tuition fee reduction against the number of units required to successfully complete the program of study as specified in the University’s Program Handbook.
The scholarship will reduce the tuition fee liability by the scholarship benefit amount for each term of the program of study, provided the conditions of the scholarship are maintained. The benefit amount will be calculated on number of units the recipient is enrolled in at Census date for each term.
Selection
No application is required for this scholarship.
Scholarships are automatically applied for upon application to the university where other eligibility criteria are met.
Scholarship offers will be made based on academic merit. All determinations of academic merit are aligned to the University’s published entry and eligibility processes and made at the discretion of the University.
You will receive notification of your scholarship and the value in your Letter of Offer.
