Scholarships. How? (1 Viewer)

[Giant Lobster]

How does one get a scholarship? Do you need a super-high uai, charity work, demonstrate that you're poor and / or disabled etc what?

Are there prep schools for getting scholarships? A friend of mine goes its quite easy if you know the process - no need to be "special" or anything. Is that true? Currently, I don't think so. All the ppl I know that win scholarships for tertiary study are brilliant in some way, but i dont know what they did exactly...

I know USYD has details of its scholarships on the site, I assume a fair few of the other unis are similar.

since when were there prep schools?

they look at your contribution to school, leadership and they want you to get good marks and also prove that you have a life and dont sit in your room and study all day all night. they want to see balance.

there are prep schools for UMAT and that kind of crap, but i haven heard anything about prep schools for scholarships, esp when theyre based with school services and extra cirricula stuff.

Depends what sort of scholarship you're going for. I say, go for as many as you can! Talk to your career counseller at school/
