I was just curious if anyone has been shortlisted for any scholarships yet? What unis have notified you?

I've been offered a $20,000 conditional scholarship for University of Western Sydney

I finished writing up my scholarship for UNSW Law about 2 days ago (1 day before closing date).

lol i wouldnt go to UWS even if they offered me a scholarship.

 

[stillthinkin]

meh, they're giving me a grant for next year as well whether I go to their uni or not. It's not really my preference but I would rather have a degree without a $40,000 debt on my back

This brings up an interesting question that could be a thread of its own...
How much money is enough to make one go to UWS?
I reckon no less than a cool $1,000,000 for me

UWS = U Went Shit

Am trying to get a "Start-Up" scholarship to assist in payment for textbooks and materials.

I also received the 20,000 UWS scholarship, though it wasn't on any of my 9 preferences, hehe.

Got shortlisted for a teaching scholarship, had my interview a couple of weeks ago, find out results in a couple more weeks. n_n The joys of waiting...

 

[passionxmusic]

All these people coming to UWS. O__o I guess its becoming a popular choice.

It's a really good incentive to try and steer some of the more academic students towards the university, and thus increase its reputation and results, etc. Although, I know several people (myself included) that are turning down the scholarship (as difficult as it may be) and going to other universities. There's also a lot more pressure to go to university and receive degrees in order to gain access to 'careers', and uws provides a more accessible university for a number of school leavers due to the easier access and what not.

When did you receive this scholarship? Because HSC results are not even out yet.. unless you received the "Most outstanding year 11 award"?

I understand completely... not many people are attracted to UWS scholarship or no. I'm trying to transfer out not because I don't like UWS but because I want to do another degree and other universities offer better majors.

Yup the year 11 one.

 

[passionxmusic]

Yup the year 11 one.

Haha and you never considered studying at UWS for a year?

 

[Dylanamali]

UWS - here I come
.. expecting an ATAR of about 95+, hoping that will get me an academic scholarship of 5k/year.

Aim: Adv Science -> Medicine

Good Luck and All The Best... you'll love it there... beautiful green campus and just enough student population. Plus the new Med Building will surely empower you to study.

Haha cheers.
Well my advanced science course is at Parramatta - for convenience, but hopefully I'll make my way to Campbelltown in year 2 if everything pans out.

How did you receive your scholarship? Was it the year 11 based award or the academic scholarship award? If so, what ATAR did you receive?
It might be difficult, but do you know an approximate ATAR cut off for the 5k/year scholarship?
