Revamped scholarship site gives students more options
Published on 08 January, 2013
Students interested in applying for a scholarship through CQUniversity can do so more quickly and easily thanks to an interactive and updated scholarship webpage.
The new page provides a much simpler way to navigate through more than 70 scholarships open to new and current students across all disciplines and campuses at CQUniversity including scholarship type, study level and year of study. Visit webpage at www.cqu.edu.au/scholarships.
The new-look scholarships page for CQUniversity.The revamped webpage was a combined effort of Division of Marketing, Information Technology Directorate and the Development and Alumni Relations Directorate (DARD), and provides a one-stop page for students looking for scholarships or financial support.
DARD's Senior Development Officer Tamsen Clifford-Banks said the majority of scholarships available to CQUniversity students are offered by industry, community and government to provide support for deserving students who demonstrate potential, and a need for support. She encouraged students who are considering enrolling for study in 2013 to visit the page to see what they are eligible for.
"Whilst we do have scholarships that support the brightest students such as the Vice-Chancellors Academic Excellence Scholarship, many scholarship providers such as BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) are motivated by a desire to provide support to the communities in which they operate, by making participation in university more affordable, and increasing the range of skills in the community," Ms Clifford-Banks said.
"Scholarships ensure that CQUniversity students have the best chance to succeed in their studies, by helping to reduce the financial cost of study and enabling them to concentrate on their studies, as well as providing confidence, motivation, and other opportunities."
"We hope students find it easier to find the support that will help succeed in their studies, and that more students will apply for and receive scholarships in 2013."
