Probably should also note that the deadline for putting in an initial application is pretty early in the year: Tuesday 2nd April 2013

I would love to get this scholarship and study at ANU! Shame you need a 95+ ATAR to be eligible... I would need to get at least a 42 in English for that...

It says it requires at least a 95 ATAR, so you'd only be given a conditional offer in July.
It mentions on one of the pages
Quote
Scholarship offers will be made by Tuesday 9 July 2013.
Twenty-five applicants will be offered a firm place (subject to meeting the offer conditions) and five applicants will be offered a reserve place which may become a firm place if other applicants do not meet their offer conditions.

Gosh. $20k a year seems kind of excessive for an undergrad to me. PhDs only get a little extra and they are more qualified and probably more independent. I'd have thought that maybe $15k would be better so that then they can award more scholarships, helping more people (plus diminishing returns and all that).
