Anyone offered scholarships?

[paramo]

It's weird I got an offer but I only scraped a 91.60...

I received a text from Monash yesterday saying I'd been awarded a Support Bursary, details in the mail.

Today I received an email from UoM saying I've been awarded a Commonwealth Education Costs Scholarship (CECS), and attached was a pdf with all the relevant information. It entails $6k a year, so I'm very pleased with that.

I received one from Deakin today (second preference) yay! Hopefully I'll get into my preference there, if not better the first preference.

Lol, I've given up hope as well. ... But with your ENTER, who wouldn't give you a scholarship?

does the monash support bursaries apply for the full 4 years or only first year?

I guess I didn't get any. I applied through VTAC when i did my SEAS application. Are they all for like 95+ enters? Confused as to how it works.

My theory:

As I understand it, they read ur SEAS application and give it a ranking or a number depending on how hard u've had it, then they somehow factor that in2 ur ENTER score 2 help them decide who gets the scholarships and who doesn't.

For example:

On a scale of 1 to 10, my disadvantagedness was probably a 2.
97.55 + 2 = 99.55.
.: Enuf 2 get me a "smart and poor person" scholarship.

Another person tho, for instance, may have had it REALLY hard (homelessness/their family died/etc) and got given a SEAS thingy of 9.5.
Say their ENTER was... er... 90.05.
90.15 + 9.5 = 99.65.

*So* even tho I got a higher ENTER than them and we're both disadvantaged, they were far more so and ultimately they would have been offered a scholarship thru SEAS b4 me on a list.

That's my guess anywayz... I don't know exactly how it works, but I've a feeling it's something like that... XD

I do know that universities have lists of names tho... if person rejects a scholarship offer, then the offer goes 2 the next on the list.
