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

• Commencing study in 2013 as a first year (no previous enrolment at UOW) full-time undergraduate student at UOW (unless advised otherwise).

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 2012 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.
