Students
achieving an ENTER of 93.25 (TER of 90.00) or greater are eligible to apply for
the Dean's Scholar Program and successful applicants will receive a Sir John
Monash Academic Scholarship. These scholarships are equal to the student's
up-front HECS fee for the semester ($3525 for engineering - 1998 value) with a
ceiling of $4000 per year. Applicants must submit the appropriate forms and
principal's recommendation by the end of October in the preceding year.
Students participating in the program will have the opportunity to plan a
personalised course in consultation with an adviser which may differ from a
standard course in depth and scope. This flexibility will ensure high achieving
students are appropriately challenged and encouraged to meet their full
academic potential.
The performance of participants will be evaluated at the end of each semester.
To maintain the Sir John Monash Scholarship and membership of the Dean's
Scholars Program, students are expected to continue achieving at the same high
level at which they entered the program (normally distinction level). Students
unable to maintain the required level of performance over a full academic year
will lose the scholarship and be transferred to the normal program of the
relevant degree course.
