The Alumni Bursary for Malaysian Students at the University of Melbourne 2018/2019

The University of Melbourne Alumni Association Malaysia is pleased to announce a bursary for Malaysian students studying at the University of Melbourne. This financial aid is made possible by the generous donations of senior University of Melbourne Alumni Association Malaysia members who only wish to give back to the community and lend a hand to Malaysian students studying at our alma mater who are in need.

The bursary is in the form of a cash amount of AU$2,500.00 awarded directly to the Malaysian student. There are no terms of repayment or conditions attached to the bursary; it is intended to alleviate the financial burden of Malaysian students in need.

Interested applicants should submit their applications by 3rd December 2018 and ensure that they meet the following criteria for eligibility:

1. Must be a Malaysian citizen currently pursuing undergraduate or postgraduate studies at the University of Melbourne on a full fee basis
2. Have undergone at least one semester i.e. first semester students are not eligible to apply
3. Achieved a minimum of a pass for all subjects under study. (The transcript for 2nd Semester 2018 results must be included before the bursary is awarded. Submit your 1st Semester 2018 results in the meantime, if you have yet to receive your transcript.)
4. Currently holding a part-time job in compliance with Australian immigration and employment regulations
5. Not a beneficiary of other scholarships or bursaries
6. Students in their final semester are not eligible.

There is a limited amount to the bursary, and applications are encouraged to be made as soon as possible. Incomplete application forms will not be considered.

The applications will be reviewed by a panel of respected senior alumni. If required, the applicant may be interviewed via Skype or other methods of communication. Successful applicants will be notified by the University of Melbourne Alumni Association Malaysia via email (umaa.my@gmail.com). The decision of the award of the bursary by the University of Melbourne Alumni Association Malaysia is final.
