Unibooks Scholarship for Honours Students

This Scholarship has been established by Unibooks, a not-for-profit organisation that has been selling a mix of academic and general books since 1929, with a bookselling service located on the North Terrace campus of the University of Adelaide.

The Scholarship will provide assistance with education costs for one student undertaking their Honours year, subject to the student maintaining satisfactory academic progress and continuing financial need. The Unibooks Scholarship is offered to students undertaking their Honours year in any program.

This Scholarship is open to students who are Australian citizens or permanent residents of Australia and undertaking an Honours program of study at the University of Adelaide. Students should be undertaking study on a full time basis as a Commonwealth Supported student and be able to demonstrate financial need.

The scholarship recipient will be selected according to academic merit and demonstrated financial need. Academic merit will be determined having regard to the cumulative Grade Point Average [GPA] achieved by the student over the preceding years of study.

The Scholarship will provide an amount of $5,000 to assist with educational costs payable in two instalments direct to the student following confirmation of enrolment at the census dates.

The Scholarship must be taken up in the year in which it is offered; acceptance of the Scholarship offer cannot be deferred. If a student declines the Scholarship offer, the Scholarship will be offered to the next eligible student.

Staff, and immediate family members of staff, at Unibooks are ineligible to apply for this scholarship.

Students in receipt of other major scholarships administered by the University of Adelaide are not eligible for this Scholarship.

Applications close Friday 6 March 2009.
