Eligibility for a scholarship includes the following:
The same application form is used for all scholarships. Applicants will be considered for all scholarships for which they are eligible.
Applications are considered by a team of independent assessors and AVCAT’s National Selection Committee. Each applicant is assessed on the following:
Financial need
Applicants should be eligible on income and assets grounds for full-time means-tested educational benefits like Youth Allowance, ABSTUDY or Austudy or an accepted means-tested Commonwealth government payment at the time of application. In assessing the financial need, income, household assets and liabilities are reviewed.
Applicants who have a greater degree of financial need for assistance with educational and
living costs will have a higher chance of being recommended for a scholarship.
Academic potential
An assessment is made about the ability of the applicant to complete the nominated course of study and is dependent on recent academic results and an academic referee or employer report.
Deservedness
The assessors consider the impacts of the applicants’ personal, health and family circumstances. Deservedness is based how the veteran’s service in the Australian Defence Force has impacted the family’s health and wellbeing. Applicants will need to detail the health conditions of the veterans.
