I'm going to be doing a Bachelor of Business and Commerce (Advanced Business Leadership)/ Laws at Parramatta (an absolute mouthful I know).

I think it was the interview that helped me get the scholarship because my ATAR wasn't anything special.

I got the call from the UWS scholarship person (Katherine) at 10.30 this morning. I'm guessing they'll be ringing people over the next couple of days.

Looking forward to meeting you at the Aspire Retreat (think it's a bush camp so should be exciting).

Good luck to everyone else with the scholarships!

nawww thats okay :) 5k is awesome !
i still havent got anything yet
Thanks! Don't worry too much about not receiving a call yet. If there are about 130 candidates, it'll take them ages to ring everyone up.

Hope you get into Aspire and the scholarship!

Just asked Catherine about the scholarship, and she said that ALL aspire scholars receive the Academic Excellence Scholarship - so that's why you got one. Congrats! =)

Thanks! So that's how I got the scholarship with my not so strong ATAR. I'll see you at the Aspire Camp then! Looking forward to meeting you.

nice! good work.
Umm, in terms of vcls I don't think you got it.. I'm quite sure you would have notified already:

Dear Dylan,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

In regards to the scholarship offer, yes this refers to the UWS Academic Excellence scholarship offer.
Each year, five Aspire students receive the Vice-Chancellor’s Leadership Scholarship (recipients have already been notified), while all other Aspire students receive an Academic Excellence scholarship offer.

Kind regards,
Catherine

nope lol ill call her ?
lol i dunno.. that is a bit strange.
But yeah I'd assume that if you were actually one of the 5 that you be the first to be notified

but at least you got the Aspire place.. just not sure why they didn't inform you first via phone and they did for me and Possum.
