Syd Uni Scholarships (1 Viewer)

does neone know when we find out about the general (high achieving) scholarships???

I got a letter today, $5000 a year for any course.

Much nicer than those stingy arseholes at UNSW.

If I wanted to do law and was deciding between the two unis, this would definitely have me enrolling at USyd.

 

[pigs_can_fly]

yeah, i got a letter for that as well

but i still haven't heard from the uni about the general scholarships

So has no one heard about the 95+, 98+ scholarships? The ones you had to apply for in september. Ahhh i have no hope. Although i did get offered an Access one, i found out monday if that is any help.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

yeah i got the U SUCK letter for the 95+, 98+ scholarships in november... so if you havent got that, it could mean you have a pretty good chance of getting the scholarship.

I got a denial for an Engineering scholarship. It makes you wonder what they're looking for.

 

[Rahul]

keypad, scholarships arent always based solely on uai.

 

[KeypadSDM]

But that's the thing.

I did so much extra-curricular stuff.

For example; Meals On Wheels, St Canice's Kitchen, Duke of Edinburough, Scouts, I was in 2 musicals in year 11 and 12, I play the violin and piano, and have been for a while, I've been playing sport all the way through school etc.

 

[Rahul]

in that case, complain? ask them why someone else got it instead of you or what you didnt have.

 

[KeypadSDM]

I never thought of that. In all seriousness, I was just probably going to have a little whinge for a few hours then forget all about it.

Hmmm, proactively asking why they didn't give me the scholarship. They might take a liking to it...

, no that couldnt be it!
jk keypad.

 

[KeypadSDM]

Never had an interview. 98 people out of 1500 that applied got it.

Anyway, my personality is not lacking. Don't they love egotisical pricks? I mean, we all do, right?

That'd be right, and you'd be the key example of one

and even if they dont, you can find out why you missed out and pass on the info to next years HSC ers

Altruism. That's pushing it.

More like the ... KEYPAD ... example. Ahh, I cack myself up with my complete and utter lack of any form of humour.

In any case, I've e-mailed them, I expect a quick response (I.e. TODAY!).

 

[Mambomeg]

ummm, its christmas day... i think they close until after new years

 

[mememe]

So just re-checking, has anyone heard about the distinction scholarships for 95+ and 98+ UAI's that you had to apply for in september with all this crap promoting yourself?

 

[tycoontyphoon]

Yeah my friend got one of the merit ones on tuesday (5k for 5 yrs). Said the letter said there were only 5 merit ones in the arts faculty, which doesn't bode well for the rest of us plebs.
