the grant i got was 4k for student exchange and i was expecting 8k...

i'm 100% sure that i saw it somewhere that people who goto tec de monterrey in 2007 get 8k!!

and I think i read it in mq mail.... from the student exchange thing...

the email was describing all these different countries that you could goto and described how much you could get.. i think it subject'd "exchange opportunities" or scholarship opportunities or something along those lines

I would check my own email but i was so sure that it was 8k that i deleted the email... could you guys please please please check your mq emails for something similar pleaseeee

Macquarie also regularly applies for Australian government funding to supplement costs for students studying in the Asia-Pacific region. Information about these grants (called UMAP grants) is available from the Study Abroad and Exchange Office in the SAM Building. In the past, students going to some countries, such as Mexico and Japan, have received up to $7000 for a semester overseas!

I remember also hearing from Kate (uber-mentor) yesterday that MQ grants between 3K and 7K depending on where you're going... not sure how helpful this is though, sorry :(

what date is the email?
aww thanx for the help guys

the subject heading i think goes along the lines of "scholarship opportunities... or something opportunities"

and it was dated im guessing around march :\ i dunno but it was the beggining of the year...

the format talked about student exchange and it had countries like fiji, mexico etc and they said they all talked about how much it would you get

"don't think u can afford it? blah blah.... 8 places at tec de monterrey 8k or something"

*sigh* damnit im soo low on funds.. i booked my flight, insurance, visa's etc and everything is going to cost me at least 4500 :'( *cries*
