Newly Established Websites

Recently we have established two new websites.

The first site has information on the Scholarships Order of Merit List. On this site you will be able to access the Order of Merit list from the most recent round of scholarships. You will be able to monitor a student's ranking throughout the selection process, whether they have been made an offer, and the outcome of the offer. The access to the content on this site will be restricted to Postgraduate Coordinators only. https://www.adelaide.edu.au/graduatecentre/scholarships/secure/scholarship_order_merit_2007.html

The second site is for Calculating Undergraduate Scores. This calculator can be used to provide an estimate of the undergraduate score a student might receive if they were to apply in the Major Round of scholarships. It can assist in the selection of students outside of the round or give an indication of their approximate ranking. It should not be relied upon as a definitive result as other factors such as postgraduate education may be taken into account during the Major Round. This access to the content on this site has been restricted to University staff only. https://www.adelaide.edu.au/graduatecentre/scholarships/undergraduatescorecalculator
