Hi all,
I am new here so I will summarise my situation:
- completed TPC at TAFE with perfect 300 score (equivalent atar 99.95)
- live in Sydney
- under 21
basically I have recently discovered ANU's PhB science degree and would love to study it, but unfortunately I didn't submit an application (didn't know of the course's existence until a few weeks ago) and so will probably go for the B Science (Adv)(Honours) and then transfer in.
Obviously I will have to move to Canberra and live on campus, but it's proving very difficult financially for me to do so without some extra money.
Does anybody know if I will be eligible for merit scholarships (such as the anu national university scholarship) based upon my TPC results? The eligibility section of the scholarship's policy document seems to indicate that I would be (as TPC is a Year 12 equivalent course), but at the same time it is slightly ambiguous:
"(b) has completed their Year 12 or equivalent qualification within the last two years and
achieved excellent results as converted to an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) of
99.90 or above (no bonus points);"
Any insight that member here could provide would prove to be very helpful for me right now; I am trying to sort out my UAC preferences by the main round deadline 4th jan, and of course the ANU scholarships office is closed until the 3rd!
