Missed the application deadline?
Some scholarships don’t require an application as the scholarship will be awarded based on a combination of your results and your offer of admission or study area, e.g. the Scientia Scholarship and the Academic Achievement Award (AAA). These scholarships are listed on the Scholarships website and we will notify you by email if you have received a scholarship offer.
