This scholarship will assist with the cost of relocating to study in an undergraduate coursework program at the College and offers students the chance to be recognised for their academic achievements, meet other scholarship recipients and build strong professional networks

• has completed a Year 12 qualification in Australia at an Australian High School (or College);

However, these students will need to contact the College Scholarships Office to request consideration for the award.

The award payment will align to the recipient's academic study load. For example, 24 unit enrolment constitutes 100% award payment; 18 unit enrolment constitutes 75% award payment, etc.

How to apply
