Conditions

- Deferral of the scholarship is not normally possible.
- Unless an exception is specified, this scholarship cannot normally be held concurrently with other scholarships.
- In order to receive the scholarship, recipients must be enrolled and studying towards the Foundation Studies Certificate.
- If the student is not able to commence their studies by the enrolment date stated in their Offer of Place, the scholarship is no longer valid. If the student’s enrolment is moved to a subsequent start date, they will be reassessed for the scholarship to ensure they are still eligible.
- This scholarship will not appear on the recipient’s academic transcript.
