Managing your scholarship

As a scholarship recipient you need to ensure you get the most out of your award.

Each scholarship has conditions in place which are outlined in your terms and conditions. These conditions will require you to maintain standards of academic performance, enrolment loading and general conduct.

Each semester your enrolment and results will be checked to ensure you are meeting the conditions of your scholarship. You will be notified, via your official communications channel in OASIS, if you have not met the requirements of your scholarship.

Scholarship conditions regarding leave of absence

If you are in receipt of a continuing scholarship, a leave of absence may be allowed for up to 12 months. Refer to your scholarship's terms and conditions for further clarification.

If the scholarship does not allow a leave of absence, but you have exceptional circumstances, contact the Scholarships Office and supply an explanation and reason as well as any supporting documentation if appropriate to request for approval.
