Scholarship Offers

[cara.mel]

Wow, I could have qualified for that until about half a year ago. =o
might still be able to depending on how lenient it is
Oh well =P

[costargh]

Hmmm thats very interesting.
I really don't know if I qualify. I guess might as well apply when the time comes.

HEY i really wanted a monash scholarship and i have applied
i put bachelor of commerce clayton in my 1st preferience
and got ENTER of 99.15, how come im not offered with any scholarship??

[humph]

which type of scholarship did you apply for?

you wouldn't have gotten one of their very top ones ($6k a year and no HECS) because you need at the very least 99.90 to get one of them...

I just received the schl offer letter for an Engineering Excellence Award. YAY!!!
on another note, reading their terms and conditions, I made a little mistake in my big post about schlps. i'll edit that post and say it here as well. you can transfer the faculty scholarships as long as you remain in a course "owned" by the faculty, whereas I wrongly said you just have to be in the faculty. The example they give is if you have an Arts scholarship and decide to transfer your course to Arts/Law, your scholarship cant go with you since Arts/Law is "owned" by the Law faculty, not Arts.

How and when are you supposed to apply for these scholarships?

How and when are you supposed to apply for these scholarships?

Around September - October I think. Right after when you put in preferences the first time (if I remember correctly).
You apply online for most of them:

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

(I don't know about alternative universities)
Some are still open after results day.

Monash rang me on results day and told me i have received a merit and equity scholarship. They even asked if i wanted a car take me to some celebration in southbank. I ended up not going because i felt i didn't deserve to be with all the 99.95ers. Now i'm regretting it, probably was a once in a life-time opportunity.

When are the second round of scholarships going to be offered?? How early in January are the universities going to make thier offers???

Im am currently in a lot of distress.....

[Fyrefly]

I'm the same squance

If I accept Monash I'm giving up my chances of a scholarship @ Melbourne (bcoz they rarely accept irregular offers for their courses and I'm certain to get my 1st preference, whether I put Monash or Melbourne 1st)
But if I accept Melbourne and don't get a scholarship, then I'm giving up the 1 Monash have offered me...

Does Monash accept irregular offers..? Would I be able to accept my Melbourne course in 1st round offers, wait and see if I get a Melbourne scholarship and then, if I don't, apply for an irregular offer and get my Monash course and accept the Monash scholarship? If I went 2 Monash on scholarship for a year, then decided it was too far, would it be hard to transfer to Melbourne uni the year after..? *so confused and frustrated*

Dentistry? No way!
Dentistry at UoM? WTF!
ENTER 90+ for dentistry at UoM? WWTTTFFFF!

It's usually 99.xx +! With a high UMAT. There's like 30 places only. I don't think that exists.

That sounds more like the Kwong Lee Dow Scholars program where if you're from an under-represented school with 90+ ENTER, it gets you into a new generation course of your choice.

Just thought people would like to know...

Melbourne Uni's second-round scholarship offers are done on Monday, letters should arrive on Wednesday for the lucky few.
I'm not sure what sort of scholarships they've got left though.

[bilgia]

what could they possibly have...?
all the good ones are taken
