What are my chances of being offered a "Scholarship for Excellence and Equity"
I meet all requirements as well as ATAR +95 however haven't heard anything from Monash.
Should i contact them ?
Yeh, you probably should. But the thing is, there might(?) be a limit on the number of those scholarships, like I was hoping for a Monash Scholarship for Excellence but it's only for the top 40 ATAR scorers from 98 to 99.85. I contacted them (go to
http://monash-ext.custhelp.com/app/ask) and was told to accept the engineer scholarship I was offered and just wait to see if I get offered a better one.
Here is the current status of Monash scholarships:
http://www.monash.edu.au/students/scholarships/scholarship-offer-status-table.html"In progress" means that they have started offers, but are waiting for people to decline or accept offers as only the 99.95 and 99.90 scholarships are unlimited iirc. Once people have declined, they thennn send out new offers to people (usually with lower results, no offence!).
That's how the Monash Scholarship for Excellence goes, but not 100% sure on the Equity one. So you should contact them, and ask if this is the case as on their site it says offers are "In progress". Otherwise.. just wait
