Year 12 - The University Co-op Scholarships Guide
Packed with all the details students need to know including:
- How to apply
- What you could get
- Eligibility criteria
- Applications deadlines
These scholarships are some of the most sought-after around, and they offer a lot more than just financial support. Students are nurtured throughout their degree, and given the tools and support they need to put them in a winning position on graduation.
I encourage you to support your student in applying. Please note: this Guide does not cover every scholarship offered at each Uni, it just covers 'co-op' scholarships. Uni websites are the best place to search for a variety of other scholarships on offer and a scholarship info night will be held at Hennessy in Term 3, 2019 – more details to follow
General access to this guide is restricted so a copy has been posted to the Year 12 Google classroom page.
