How do double degree scholarships work?

I'm interested in a double degree at Monash (say, A/B).
Browsing the scholarships section, I come across scholarship for A (needing 95.00 ENTER) and B (needing 97.00 ENTER).
Now, if I want to do A/B as a double degree, does it mean I need 97.00 ENTER to be eligible?

Thanks :)

What do you mean 192.00? Are you referring to the aggregate?

I'm not too sure but:

http://www.adm.monash.edu/scholarships/assets/docs/courseworkscholstc-09final.pdf
Quote
You may be permitted to hold more than one scholarship/
bursary. A summary of Monash University scholarships/
bursaries which can be held concurrently is available at: www.
adm.monash.edu/scholarships/holders/concurrentscholarships.
html
Generally, you may only hold one merit and one equity
scholarship/bursary at a time. In addition, you may also hold
an accommodation scholarship/bursary. You can also hold
a one-off scholarship/bursary or a travel or placement
scholarship/bursary.
Note: If you are an International student studying under an
Australian Scholarship program (ie. AusAid, ADS, ALA,
Endeavour), you cannot hold any other scholarships offered by
Monash University.

and lol at 192.

Hmm thanks Toothpick. I think that means I have to get a 97 for the double degree.

Howdy. I have an Engineering Excellence Scholarship that awards me $6,000 per year, or rather, $6,000 per 48 credit points (it's 6 points per unit, so pretty much 8 units, 4 per semester).

This will cover my entire 5 year double degree. 5 * $6k = $30k in total. Similarly, I have friends on the same scholarship doing a single Engineering Degree and they get the same deal ($6k per 48 credit points). 4 * $6k = $24k. So yes, you get the extra $6k for the extra year. :P

The scholarship is for the life of your degree, and I assume this extends to all other double degree scholarships, though I could be wrong!
