Scholarships/awards
Award description: 

Four scholarships valued at $15,000 and 6 scholarships valued at $3,000, will be awarded to international students who are enrolled in Year Two, Three, or Four of a Computer Science program (excluding Computing and Financial Management and Software Engineering). Eligibility will be based on completion of CS136 or CS146, and a minimum cumulative average of 85%. Eligible students will be invited to apply via email. Selection will be based on a demonstrated passion for Computer Science outside of the classroom. Scholarship payments will be split equally over the recipients' next two academic terms. To remain eligible for the second instalment, recipients must maintain an 80% cumulative average and continue to enrol as a full-time student in a Computer Science program. If a recipient's residency status changes and/or they are no longer required to pay the higher international study permit tuition fees, then the scholarship will be cancelled. Recipients may only be awarded this scholarship once in their academic career.
