High-achieving Year 12 students can cash in on their success at CQUni 

Published on 12 December, 2012 

Students who have a high OP score in 2012 can aim for $10,000 in assistance or even have their tuition fees paid thanks to 'Vice-Chancellor's scholarships' now on offer through CQUniversity.

The 'Academic Excellence' scholarship offering full tuition* is open to students with OPs between 1 and 3 (or equivalent). Meantime, 'Merit' scholarships offering $10,000 are open to students with OPs between 1 and 5 (or equivalent) who can demonstrate considerable involvement within their local community.

This initiative will not only reward excellence but also recognises that high-achievers who study locally are more likely to remain to work in their home region, thus boosting the local talent pool. Applications will be accepted from Year 12 students Australia wide. 

Year 12 students expecting to achieve an OP1-5 are urged to apply now. Applications will close Sunday, January 13, 2013.
