The Cowan Scholarship 2008

The Cowan Scholarship 2008 is offered to commencing students and is dependent on financial constraint. Applications are invited for the Cowan Scholarship from prospective students, and the applicants must be supported by either their school or the Rural Counsellor’s Network. Most of The Cowan Scholarship are awarded to candidates from rural or regional backgrounds.

The Cowan Scholarship will be awarded each year to provide up to three years accommodation at Roseworthy Residential College and will be used for educational purposes.

Applicants need to demonstrate financial need and be able to provide supporting documentary evidence at the time of applying e.g. details of income tested Commonwealth income support payment such as Youth Allowance, Austudy, ABSTUDY benefits, or other details of their financial circumstances.

Applicants need to provide evidence of potential for tertiary study from a referee. Also required are at least three referee details of persons prepared to support this application and to comment personally and confidentially on:
• Suitability for further study
• Study habits
• Value of the Cowan Scholarship to the nominee and family

The Cowan Scholarship must be taken up in the year in which it is offered; acceptance of the Scholarship offer cannot be deferred. If a student declines the Scholarship offer, the Scholarship will be offered to the next eligible student.

Closing date 29 February 2008
