Title: Commerce/Law late scholarship
Post by: waffles19 on December 20, 2011, 08:50:38 pm

Hey guys - I put Commerce/Law as my first pref, but I never applied for any scholarships until I got my ATAR because I was expecting to get below 95... it was a pretty stupid move on my behalf because I got 99.60 =.="""

Monash sent me an invitation by email on the day I got my ATAR, inviting me to make a late scholarship submission and I already did.. what are my chances of getting a merit scholarship? There's a whole monash site on late scholarship submissions and stuff.. some of my friends who applied in august/october already got calls though.. :(

http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/scholarships/applications.html

I was wondering if anyone succesfully got a late scholarship and when do they actually start notifying/offering you the late ones.. the closing date for late scholarships is 21 Dec (one more day). I applied on the day I got my ATAR.

cheers

AFAIK, scholarships for law on merit are usually 99.80+

If you have financial disadvantage (eg. Centrelink and Youth Allowance), you can get into a Law degree with a 94 through the Access Monash Scholars - it comes with a one-off $1,000 bursary payment.

Definitely no one got it purely on merit for 98.85, that's the Merit and Equity scholarship, where they fall under one of Monash's loose disadvantaged categories.

Law faculty scholarships (comm/law) are 99.8+ in general


highly suspect <95 ATAR prediction with those year 11 study scores though haha, terrible form
