Eligibility

To be eligible for the Future Leaders Scheme, you must:

  • be a high school student in Australia (this includes both domestic and international students)
  • apply for an undergraduate course commencing in Semester 1
  • receive the highest ATAR or IBAS in your school.

Multiple students from a single school can be selected for this scheme if:

  • students achieve the same highest ATAR or IBAS, or
  • the school has both HSC (or interstate equivalent) and IB students – the top students from each will be selected.

How to apply

Place your chosen course as your highest eligible UAC preference.  If you are eligible for adjustment factors, these will automatically be added to your ATAR or Combined Rank (for IBAS) for all eligible courses in your preference list.

Frequently asked questions

No.

You are eligible if you have the highest ATAR or IBAS in your cohort. Schools may use predicted grades or other criteria to choose a Dux, this does not necessarily mean you are eligible for the Future Leaders Scheme.

The Future Leaders Scheme also applies to offer rounds after the release of your ATAR or IBAS. However, it is important to note that some courses may fill up after this offer round. Even if you meet the reduced ATAR and other admission criteria, you will not be made an offer to a course if it does not have any places available.
