Everything you need to know about scoring a scholarship at JCU
Fee-wise, in Australia, receiving a Tertiary Education is pretty easy. But, did you ever think that maybe a little extra cash could go a long way in helping you succeed in your studies? Well, welcome to the world of scholarships!
JCU students are privy to a wealth of monetary scholarships that are just an application away. Scholarships can help students reduce their HELP debt, buy textbooks, a new laptop or even avoid having to get a part- or full-time job whilst completing their studies.
So how do you score this amazing deal you ask? Continue reading and we’ll school you on how to get cash money in exchange for good grades.
You’re probably eligible for at least one scholarship
You may be aware of the pop-culture versions of an American scholarship hopeful working their butts off for their big chance, but here in Australia, things aren’t quite as do or die.
There are over 50 different types of scholarships available to JCU students each year, so there really is something for everyone when it comes to potential eligibility.
The best bit? You’re encouraged to apply for every one that you’re eligible for.
Scholarships@JCU and Google are your friends
So where do you find all these fantastic scholarships? Never fear, Scholarships@JCU is here! It’s easy to navigate and you have the option to refine your search and really narrow down which ones are best for you. The site will advertise when new scholarships become available and if you get stuck, AskUs and Google are available as a backup.
You need to actually read your application
Ever submitted an assignment without proofreading it first? Don’t lie, we know you have. When it comes to applications for things like FREE MONEY, we suggest you double, triple and quadruple check your work prior to submitting. This includes having a thorough understanding of what is required to complete your application and the supporting documentation you need to supply.
Tip: Once you’ve completed your application, sleep on it for a night before submitting. Then, you’ll be able to overlook it the next day with a fresh set of eyes and make any changes necessary.
There’s scholarships opportunities for studying abroad
Seeing all those people on your Instagram exploring Europe in the summer can make you pretty jealous. It’s time to make your dream a reality and hit up the JCU Global Mobility Team to discuss your Study Abroad scholarship options. If a whole semester or year abroad is out of the question, short courses over the semester break are also available.
Need extra funds for overseas travel? You may be eligible to apply for The New Columbo Plan or an OS-HELP Loan, which lets you pay off your overseas experience with the rest of your university fees. It may not get you a 5-star weekend at Coachella, but it sure will pay for your return flights and then some!
You have to keep your grades up
Now, we may have intentionally gotten you excited about the opportunity to earn yourself a scholarship, but we must admit the operative word is ‘earn’. Be sure to have a thorough understanding of the scholarship rules. You may be required to pass your subjects, receive certain grades or comply with other eligibility criteria to continue receiving your funds.
Good luck on those applications!
