Scholarships & Prizes

Merit Scholarships will be available in 2007 to local fee paying postgraduate coursework students enrolled in Master degrees, Graduate Diplomas and Graduate Certificates. Students do not have to apply for the scholarships.

The Faculty of Arts will award up to 10 Merit Scholarships each year.

The Merit Scholarship will be a discount on course fees of $300 per unit of study commencing in the semester following the award of the scholarship. Merit Scholarship holders will be notified in writing of the award of a scholarship.

Students who have been granted a HECS place are not eligible for this scholarship.

Conditions
To be awarded the scholarship, candidates must:

• be enrolled in a postgraduate coursework award program in the Faculty of Arts (ie Master, Graduate Diploma, Graduate Certificate)
• be enrolled in a minimum of 2 units of study (12 credit points) in a semester
• have confirmed by the semester results processing deadline all results within the enrolled program in that semester
• achieve a Distinction average (75% or above) in the two best units of study within the award program in that semester

Note: Merit Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of the results confirmed at the semester results processing deadline, so late results will not be considered.

The Faculty will rank the eligible candidates according to merit in the given semester.
