Scholarships
Scholarships are there to take away financial pressures so that you can focus on your studies. There are a number of scholarships open to students starting their degree, ranging in value from small to large scholarships, or one-off bursaries.
To apply for a scholarship you must:
- be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
- be intending to study fulltime and on campus at UNE in Armidale
- have applied for a place in a UNE course through UAC or QTAC
- be expecting to receive an ATAR or OP (or equivalent); and
- fulfil the individual criteria for the scholarship for which you are applying
Gap year students – those who have finished Year 12 in the previous two years and have NOT started university study – may also apply for these scholarships. Each scholarship recognises and rewards students with different attributes.
Not all of the scholarships are about how well you did at school, there are UNE scholarships for students:
- who come from rural areas
- doing specific degrees
- in disadvantaged groups
- who excel at sport; and
- who live in a residential college.
Most school leaver scholarship applications close at the end of September. There are on average more than 100 undergraduate scholarships available each year for students commencing study at UNE, at a combined value of more than $1.2 million. There are also a number of scholarships offered by other organisations for UNE students.
All scholarship applications are kept highly confidential, in particular the financial information requested for the equity scholarships.
It is free to apply for all UNE scholarships.
