SCHOLARSHIPS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 12 students are now applying for university, and have been working on their early entry applications. It is now a good time to also consider scholarships. It is easy to apply for scholarships, though some are more specific and require more detailed applications. Below are just some of the scholarships available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-op scholarships (UTS<\/a> and UNSW<\/a>) are a fabulous way of gaining work experience whilst at university. They offer students a financial reward, as well as 2 x 6 month internships with companies related to their degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sydney Catholic Schools offers a Future Teacher Scholarship<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valued at up to $160 000 the Ramsay Scholarship is offered to students studying the Bachelor of Arts (Western Civilisation)<\/a> at ACU. The Bachelor of Arts (Western Civilisation) provides students with a rigorous and stimulating intellectual program in which they engage with western philosophy, history, literature, politics, art and culture, and develop a deep understanding of the great works, ideas and movements within the western intellectual tradition in the core of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UOW Management Cadetship is a great opportunity for motivated students. Management Cadets work full time at UOW as they study their degree, applying their classroom experience to a range of functions at the institution. https:\/\/www.uow.edu.au\/study\/scholarships\/domestic\/cadet\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 10-12 Students Considering a Career in Medicine or Dentistry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are in Years 10, 11 or 12, and considering a career in medicine or dentistry, you will need to sit the UCAT test as part of the entry requirements. There are many companies who offer UCAT preparation – please research these carefully to ensure you make an informed decision and find the one (if any) suited to you. One company is NIE and their details are here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NIE UCAT Intensive Training Workshop is an excellent opportunity for Year 10, 11, and 12 students considering sitting the UCAT.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most effective approach to successful UCAT preparation is to begin early with low-frequency but consistent practice during the senior high school years. While you can and will have to still spend some time preparing during Year 12, it would be much better if the bulk of your preparation had been completed prior to the start of the busy Year 12 schedule. This strategy will allow you to spend just a few hours per week maintaining your UCAT skills in Year 12, instead of scrambling to catch up and adding stress to your already demanding Year 12 workload.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we recommend that you officially start your UCAT training by participating in our full-day intensive UCAT preparation workshop, or you can also view a range of complete <\/em>UCAT Preparation Courses<\/em><\/a> offered through NIE.<\/em>
Another company, for comparison, is Medentry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
