Studying Bachelor of Engineering (Engineering Scholars Program), Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds Recipient of Barwon Water Civil Engineering Scholarship Karl was awarded a Barwon Water Civil Engineering Scholarship after achieving an ATAR of 89.70 in his final year at Christian College in Geelong. He receives an annual scholarship of $5000 for the duration of his course and the opportunity to undertake paid work experience at Barwon Water over the summer break.

Jodie Satour
Bachelor of Social Work at the Institute of Koorie Education, Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds When I decided to pursue a Bachelor of Social Work, I wanted two things: a university that offered a communitybased model and one that had a reputation for assisting students to pursue their goals. The Institute of Koorie Education at Deakin gave me what I wanted and more. The communitybased model allows me to study in my own community with the
option of attending twoweek intensive blocks. The Institute has a reputation for assisting students to reach their full potential. The course lecturers bring real life experiences into the classroom, there is an impressive array of guest speakers and a diverse body of students to stimulate class discussions. Deakin also offers students the opportunity to receive scholarships to alleviate hardship. My scholarship helped to reduce my HECS debt.

By covering my accommodation expenses it has meant that I have not had to work during the year to support myself. This has meant that I can concentrate on my studies and this has been an important advantage in

When applying directly for a scholarship via the Deakin Applicant Portal (www.deakin.edu.au/apply) you will be asked to provide specific documentation to the Deakin University Scholarships Office in support of your application. For access and equity scholarships you will generally be asked to confirm your financial circumstances either through a current Centrelink statement (Family Tax Benefit statements are not accepted) or a current Tax Assessment Notice issued by the Australia Tax Office (ATO) once you have submitted a tax return. For more information please refer to www.deakin.edu.au/futurestudents/scholarships/how-to-apply.
Can I defer my scholarship when I intermit my course?

The rules governing each of the scholarships offered by the Deakin Scholarships Office are different and not all scholarships can be deferred. We recommend that you contact the Scholarships Office (scholarships@deakin.edu.au) to confirm your circumstances. For more information please refer to www.deakin.edu.au/current-students/ study-information/scholarships/deferring-scholarships.
How many scholarships can I apply for?

You can apply for as many scholarships as you like. All scholarships have their own eligibility conditions. You should ensure you read the conditions for each scholarship before making an application. We encourage you to apply for as many scholarships as you can. Each of your scholarship applications will be reviewed separately and confirmed for any incompatibility prior to making an offer.
I am thinking about changing my course enrolment, will this affect my scholarship?

Some scholarships are offered based on the course you are enrolled in. If you change your course this may affect your scholarship. You should discuss your intentions with the Scholarships Office (scholarships@deakin.edu.au) to confirm your circumstances and to ensure that you are still eligible to receive your scholarship.
Can I hold more than one scholarship?

Whether you will be awarded more than one scholarship depends on varying factors. Some scholarships cannot be held concurrently. Your scholarship applications will be reviewed separately and confirmed for any incompatibility prior to making an offer.
Are there any scholarships that help pay for my accommodation costs at a Deakin residence?
Yes, Deakin University offers several scholarships which help with the costs associated with living in a Deakin residence. For further information please refer to www.deakin.edu.au/future-students/ scholarships/accommodation-scholarships.
How are scholarships selected?

Each scholarship has its own selection criteria. Deakin aims for transparency in this selection process by detailing the selection criteria for each scholarship in both this Scholarships Guide and on our web site. The applicant(s) that best meet the criteria will be offered the scholarship, provided there are no incompatibilities with other scholarship(s) currently held.
Can I transfer my scholarship if I enrol at another university?

No, all scholarships offered by Deakin University are subject to you being enrolled with Deakin University.
Is my scholarship taxable?
Deakins Scholarships Office encourages you to discuss the specific taxation implications of your scholarship with your financial adviser or directly with the Australian Tax Office. General information regarding the taxation of scholarships is available from www.ato.gov.au.
