Adelaide Undergraduate Scholarships

The University will offer Adelaide Undergraduate Scholarships in 2010 to all South Australian students who have demonstrated outstanding academic merit by obtaining a Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER) of 99.95 (with no bonuses).

These Scholarships will provide an allowance of $10,000 per annum for a maximum period of up to four years (indexed) to assist with education/living costs of a student’s program at the University of Adelaide.

Scholarships will be offered to all students who:

• are Australian citizens or permanent residents of Australia
• qualify for their year 12 certificate (South Australian Certificate of Education or International Baccalaureate) at a South Australian School in 2008 or 2009
• have applied through SATAC for admission to a Commonwealth Supported Place in an undergraduate Bachelor’s degree program at the University of Adelaide in 2010 and are eligible to receive an offer of a place in that program
• are commencing post secondary studies for the first time in 2010
• obtain a TER of 99.95, exclusive of all bonus points.

The award of this Scholarship is subject to the student’s admission to an undergraduate Bachelor’s program and confirmation of full time enrolment at each of the census dates (31 March and 31 August).  Scholarships will normally be taken up in the year that they are offered but where candidates decide to defer their offer of a place they may also defer their offer of a scholarship for up to one year upon written notice to the Scholarships Office.

The scholarship will be payable in two equal instalments of $5,000 subject to confirmation of continuing eligibility at each of the census dates in 2010 and satisfactory academic progress in their studies. Students must obtain a Grade Point Average of at least 4.0 (pass in all courses) at the end of first semester 2010 in order to receive the second scholarship instalment.

Students will be eligible to hold both an Adelaide Undergraduate Scholarship and a South Australian Principals' Scholarship at the University of Adelaide.

No formal application is necessary; the University will contact all eligible students.
