Academic Scholarships

Points earned through the member programs build toward eligibility to apply for an academic scholarship.

Scholarship tiers: the points balance required for each tier and the award level it opens.
Tier	Points balance	Eligible referrals	Award level you may apply for
Tier 1	300	10	$3,000
Tier 2	600	20	$6,000
Tier 3	900	30	$9,000
Tier 4	1,200	40	$12,000

The pathway

From joining to applying

Four stages, each with its own page. A points balance moves you through the first three; the fourth is a decision made against the programme terms.

Take part

Referrals and partner activity build a points balance, recorded entry by entry in the member portal.

Reach a tier

Each tier names a points balance and the award level it opens. Reaching one opens eligibility to apply.

Apply

An application asks for what the programme terms require, including verification of the points balance behind it.

The decision

Applications are assessed against the terms. Awards remain subject to verification and to the funding available in that round.

The detail

Three pages worth reading before applying

Eligibility

What a points balance opens, and what else is assessed alongside it.

Application
