GREAT Scholarships

• We reserve the right to only consider applicants for a scholarship if they have accepted an offer for their course of study. We strongly advise applicants to accept their offer of a place on the course by the scholarship closing date.
• Scholarships are competitive and selection is based on the information provided in the online scholarship application form only.
• You must be able to evidence the level of academic achievement stated on your scholarship application by submitting a transcript or certificate stating your final result (including percentage/GPA/CGPA) by the scholarship closing date.
• You must provide your eight-digit Student Identifier (SI) number on the online scholarship application form. This is given to you by the University when your course application has been processed. We reserve the right to only consider applicants for a scholarship if they provide this number on their scholarship application.
• Scholarships are awarded as a tuition fee reduction. No cash alternative is available.
• Scholarships are not transferable and cannot be deferred to a later start date.
• Only one financial incentive (scholarship, award, bursary or discount) is permitted for each course of study. If you are eligible for more than one type of financial incentive, the highest value offer will apply.
• The University reviews and updates our scholarship offer annually, therefore the offer is subject to change each academic year.
• All decisions on eligibility for scholarships and award of scholarships are at the University's discretion and are final.
• We do not provide individual feedback on unsuccessful applications.
• You must meet the entry requirements in your offer letter before you can enrol.
• If you are awarded a scholarship, you are still required to pay any relevant deposits and fee due before enrolment.
