Applicant Requirements & Guidelines for Future Students 

Conditions and criteria apply to each of the advertised scholarships.  General criteria that apply to each scholarship is listed below, additional scholarship criteria specific to a particular scholarship will be detailed within the scholarship advertising.

It is important to remember that an offer of UOW scholarship is conditional on the basis that you receive an offer to study at UOW.  If you are offered any UOW scholarships, you will need to ensure that your preferences are such that you will be offered a position in your desired UOW program.  This may mean that you will have to change your UAC preferences so that your desired UOW course is your highest eligible preference.

Scholarships for currently enrolled students will be advertised throughout the academic year via students emails, flyers, digital signage and on the scholarship website.

General Criteria

The following criteria apply to all Future Student UOW Undergraduate Scholarships for 2011:

• Commencing study in 2012 as a first year (no previous enrolment at UOW) full-time undergraduate student at UOW (unless advised otherwise).
• Australian Citizen or Australian Permanent Resident or holder of an Australian Humanitarian Visa (unless advised otherwise).
• There are additional criteria for each scholarship, please ensure you have read each scholarship's criteria carefully so that your application is properly completed.

Interview Guidelines 

After the closing date, applications are reviewed by a selection committee.  Where necessary, interviews of short-listed applicants will take place at the appropriate UOW Campus or Education Centre during the period November 2011 to December 2012.  Candidates required for interview will be contacted regarding scholarship interview details.

If you are selected for an interview it is important to prepare by reading over the scholarship criteria.  An 'Interview FAQ' sheet will be made available to all interview applicants. You should also be able to talk about what interests you about the particular course or courses you are applying for; where you hope your course will lead you; and how your previous experience will help you to make a contribution to the UOW community.  Applicants coming on campus for an interview should treat the scholarship interview like a job interview, and are encouraged to be on time and dress appropriately.

If you have certificates or any other documentation that was not included in your application, you are more than welcome to bring these along to the interview.

You may be invited to attend more than one interview, and we encourage you to go to them all.
