How are the scholarship funds allocated?
The scholarship is applied to the tuition fees and distributed evenly across the units required to complete the course. The total Kickstarter scholarship value is $15,000.
For example, a Kickstarter Scholarship recipient studying the Bachelor of Psychological Sciences (24 units) would receive a scholarship value of $625 per unit, which is applied to their tuition fees as they progress through their studies.
More Details
Students are eligible to receive only one scholarship, bursary, or discount for the same unit of study. Where a student qualifies for multiple scholarships, bursaries, or discounts, the highest value award will be applied, and no additional scholarships or discounts will be granted for that unit.
