Canadian Students

In order to be eligible for consideration a student must:

• Have applied to study the Bachelor of Laws and be offered admission into Semester 1 or 2 of 2013 at the University of Adelaide;
• Commence an academic program for the first time at the University of Adelaide AND
• Be a citizen or resident of Canada.

The Scholarships will be awarded for academic excellence to outstanding Canadian students. Applications will be assessed on the basis of the applicant's Canadian University results plus their accompanying motivational letter.

Extra-curricular achievements will not be considered. Applicants in receipt of other Scholarships offered by the University of Adelaide are NOT eligible to apply.

In order to be selected as a Scholarship recipient, an applicant must:

• Achieve a minimum of 70% on their Canadian University studies AND
• Furnish a completed online application form by 31st October 2012 for Semester 1 of 2013 intake, or 1st May 2013 for Semester 2 intake.

The Faculty will grant up to Ten Scholarships of $5000 each to applicants commencing in the Bachelor of Laws in Semester 1 or 2 of 2013. The Scholarships will be awarded in order of merit. The Scholarship provides a one-off, non-renewable payment for living allowances only and will be paid to the Scholarship recipient upon their arrival in Adelaide.

Scholarship recipients are required to meet the cost of compulsory Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), tuition fees, living costs and cost of return airfares. These costs will not be covered by the Scholarship.

The Scholarship must be taken up in the semester and year for which it is offered. The University may withdraw the Scholarship if a candidate fails to provide any required documentation or provide false or misleading documentation.

It is not possible to defer the award and the Scholarship cannot be transferred to any other institution.

Students who subsequently withdraw from their program of study at the University before the census date for Semester 1 (31 Mar 2013) or Semester 2 (31 August 2013) must repay the Scholarship to the University in its entirety. Any outstanding repayments will be deducted from the tuition fee refund.

An application for admission to the University in 2013 will constitute an application for a Scholarship provided that a completed Scholarship application form is also forwarded electronically to the Faculty.

Successful recipients will receive the Scholarship offer from the Faculty of the Professions. All applications will be assessed on a merit-based selection process. To accept the Scholarship, the recipient MUST accept the University offer of admissions by the deadline stipulated in the Scholarship offer letter. If no response is received by the specified deadline, the offer of the Scholarship will lapse and will be offered to the next eligible candidate.

The University reserves the right not to award the Scholarships if there are no candidates of sufficient merit as determined in each case, or to amend the availability of Scholarships and/or the information provided in the Scholarships details at anytime.
