Scholarship Offers

[Collin Li]

Hmm... some of you mentioned a faculty-specific scholarship offer, mine doesn't mention a faculty restriction. Is that bad? XD

If it's a scholarship for disadvantaged, it may just be a general scholarship, so no faculty restrictions is good. It means you have freedom of choice

[Collin Li]

Could be possible it's still faculty general. Monash gives out scholarships pretty easily, I'm not sure why.

[Fyrefly]

So what are my chances of getting a Melbourne offer for commerce faculty, considering Monash have offered me a scholarship? Is there a chance I'll still receive an offer from Melbourne? $6k pa from Monash simply does not offset the extra travel time and expenses, and certainly wouldn't come close to offsetting the cost of moving to the other side of the city.

[Eriny]

They know the order of your preferences?!?

Dammit!! If I'd known that, I would've put Melbourne after a few Monash courses to get them riled up. *pouts*

I don't know about that. Melbourne was my first VTAC preference.

I called the Monash scholarship office today as well and they told me I didn't get one. I'm fine with that though anyway. If I stay in Victoria for uni, I'm going to Melbourne.

I got a scholarship to Monash, 2.2k per annum for any faculty ^_^

Still hoping for an Access scholarship. Monash is kinda far for me.

What are the telephone numbers for Melbourne and Monash Universities' Scholarship offices?

I have a bunch of missed calls on my mobile and I missed some calls on my home phone as well. You never know...

[Eriny]

You can check their numbers on the websites.

I got a mysterious call yesterday that I wasn't home for and my mum was unable to jot down. I'm left fearing it could have been from a monash selection or scholarship officer, and I potentially missed it  . Any ideas?
and fyrefly, ninwa, what did you two get as ENTERS?

Heh, I got an education faculty scholarship - I didn't have the heart to tell the lady that arts/education is my 12th preference so unless my parents go bankrupt / I don't get any of the other 11 courses, I wouldn't accept.

I'd rather not say my ENTER - it's not something I'm proud of sorry lol

damn haha, because I did WAY better than expected and since people here are getting offers with lower scores than mine.... :/

ah well...

I applied for the Melbourne one through VTAC. In order to get a Melbourne scholarship you have to have "suffered" a disadvantage of some sort. Unless your ENTER was above 99.90 and you're eligible for a National scholarship. But yeah, you apply directly for the Monash ones.

Also, I think Melbourne is giving $2500 to anyone who enrolls in a new generation degree with an ENTER of above 98 and hasn't already received a scholaraship (not including the Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholarship).

[squance]

And today...I was offered a Commonwealth Education Costs Scholarship from Monash...

$2000 allowance per year but $0 contribution towards hecs...

Im accepting my melbourne access scholarship

cool... is it definite that you receive the $2500 if you got over 98?

hope so! haha
