Title: What are the exact benefits of the Chancellor's Scholars Program?
Post by: horizon on January 16, 2012, 11:51:53 pm
I hear that the Chancellor's Scholars Program is a scholarship for your 3 year undergrad degree with a guaranteed entry into the post-grad course of your choice.
Is this right?

What are the conditions for the program?
Are there any other benefits other than the ones I've outlined?

Not every postgrad program is guaranteed (some have quotas) and you're still required to do prerequisite study if relevant. Otherwise a pretty good deal
