Eligibility

To be eligible for the Prize students need to meet the following criteria:

• Be graduating in 2012 with a Bachelor degree from UOW

• Demonstrate exceptional contribution to the University or the broader community
• Demonstrate leadership qualities
• Have the capability to become an ambassador for the University

*Note: The committee will calculate the WAM for each student using the following formula: Sum of (credit points x mark) / sum of credit points. For students graduating in December, the WAM calculation will include your final marks for Spring Session 2012. Students who are unsure if they will achieve a WAM of 80 when taking into account their final marks for Spring are encouraged to apply regardless.
