Who's eligible
You must:
- be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
- be starting a single or combined undergraduate coursework degree at the University of Sydney Business School
- have completed the NSW Higher School Certificate or approved equivalent within two years prior to the degree
- not have started university studies
- have a minimum ATAR of 95 or equivalent.
Background
The University of Sydney Business School offers up to two scholarships to students from rural/regional areas in Australia each year.
Selection criteria
- Applicants are assessed on personal attributes such as leadership, initiative and creativity, along with outstanding extracurricular achievement and a proficient academic record.
Ongoing eligibility
- Recipients must maintain an average mark of at least 65 Credit and remain enrolled with the Sydney Business School.
- Recipients must also maintain a standard full-time load (24 credit points) per semester. If extenuating circumstances arise, scholarship holders may submit a request to decrease their load to a minimum full-time load of three units of study (18 credit points) per semester with the permission of the Business School. The duration of the scholarship will not be extended if a student undertakes a minimum full-time load.
- Requests to hold the scholarship part-time will only be approved under exceptional circumstances such as a medical condition which limits the student's capacity to undertake full-time study. Such requests must be supported by the dean.
Payment schedule
- Payments will be made in two equal instalments after the census date of each semester.
Termination
The scholarship will be terminated if the recipient:
- Withdraws from an eligible course or fails to enrol,
- Commences part-time study without prior approval,
- does not maintain satisfactory academic performance,
- is determined by the University to be guilty of serious misconduct, including, but not limited to, having provided false or misleading information as part of their Scholarship application,
- accepts an alternative scholarship, administered by the University of Sydney, valued at $6,000 per annum or more for the same purpose as this Scholarship,
- does not resume study at the end of a period of approved leave, or any other provision as indicated in these terms that would lead to termination.
