This was to be a small Queensland only round table event, which morphed into a national virtual forum with close to 100 participants! Scholarships and Bursaries is a sensitive topic that we don\u2019t often have the opportunity to discuss as a professional peer group, and the insights, learnings and ideas that we shared were extremely valuable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Topics covered included:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What are some of the measures your schools have put in place to ensure the process of awarding a scholarship or bursary is equitable?\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>How do you manage the confidentiality aspect surrounding the process?\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>As an Admissions professional, what role do you play once the student has commenced in terms of monitoring progress and fulfilling the obligations attached to the scholarship or bursary, and ensuring the student and family is set up for success?\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>What are some of the measures a school has in place to assist and then perhaps eventually exit student who not meeting the criteria of the scholarship or bursary agreement?; and<\/li>\n<li>What are some of the methods you use to test financial needs based applications?\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It was clear that we all have similar questions and challenges, and assisting each other with ideas around process in particular is something we should explore as a group again.
