Scholarship opportunities for HSC students

Preparing for your HSC? Consider preparing for the future too! Many scholarship options exist throughout Australia. Whilst you lock in your UAC preferences, you should consider which university would best suit you, as well as which ones can provide you the best scholarships to enable your studies.

Before applying for scholarships, be well acquainted with the different types of scholarships available throughout Australia. Consider which ones would best fit your situation, and apply strategically, as you don’t have forever to apply!

Types of scholarships: 

  1. Academic 
  2. Athletic 
  3. Extracurriculars
  4. Student Specific
  1. Religion
  2. First-generation 
  3. Legacy (parents/close family members attended same institution) 
  4. Identity-based 
  1. Need-based (e.g. Finances, Socioeconomic Index of Residence) 
  2. Employer
  3. Military 
  4. STEM
  5. Major-based 
  6. No Essay 

There are many different scholarship requirements, which can’t be covered here. However, the best tip I can give is to have a shortlisted main document with all your scholarship applications, including important dates. With many potential universities and courses to go to, as well as many different scholarships within each one, it is critical you are able to organise all the information in one place.
