How does Access Melbourne work?

Hello, so I have Melbourne down as my first preference and I'm just wondering how and when I will be notified, if I do receive the Access Melbourne scholarship.
(Bachelor of Arts--well it's my 2nd preference, but the 1st is the chancellor's program which I have no hope for :P)

My ATAR is 93.65, which is hopefully a clearly-in, but I am eligible for a couple of categories for SEAS and did apply.
From reading the website I think that is all you have to do to be considered, but I'd appreciate it if anyone can confirm this :D

Also, I'll really appreciate it anyone does receive it and is willing to let me know.
Otherwise I guess we'll just wait for 18 January to come?
Thanks, whoever is reading this!
Hello hello la la la  :D

Are you referring to the Access Melbourne Scholarship or simply the Access Melbourne scheme by which you can gain entry into your course below the clearly-in? Your post refers to both, and it's important to note that they are separate concepts.

Yes they are :P Thankfully my atar was enough to get me in, so now I am only wondering about the scholarship part :)
Would you be able to provide me with any info at all? Thanks a lot ;D

If it's any indication, I was eligible for both financial disadvantage and rural background (and potentially difficult circumstances) but couldn't manage to get one. I believe they've all been offered now, so if you haven't got one yet, it's unlikely you will later.

Unfortunately you basically need an ATAR of 99+, it seems. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but congratulations on getting into your course! That's a huge achievement in its own right.

I qualified for financial disadvantage and being from an underrepresented school, and got an offer with a mid 90s atar, but I also know a few people who've been in similar circumstances who were offered one with an atar in the low 80s.

Hmm...that's what I was thinking, but I wanted someone to confirm since I really have no idea about the competition etc.
Thanks for bearing the news I've been waiting for! And it's not that bad, I'm happy I got in at all  ;) Thanks!

Do you mean you both got the scholarship?
Those two are my categories too ;D
