The University also seeks to maintain an appropriate balance between states and territories and in the range of discipline areas undertaken by scholars. Two of these scholarships are awarded to applicants from the Institute of the Arts for Art and Music on the basis of achievement in the specific entry requirements for ITA at the highest level. Applicants must be Australian citizens or hold Permanent Resident Status, have not previously been enrolled in any tertiary degree or diploma course and be immediate school leavers or have completed their schooling within the previous 12 months. ANU Regional Scholarships ANU offers up to six ANU Regional Scholarships for applicants from the regions surrounding the university. In 2001 there will also be one scholarship for an applicant from Victoria.
Selection is based on academic merit and residence or schooling in one of the regions.
Applications for both scholarships close on 30 November. ANU National Achievement Scholarship ANU offers a number of ANU National Achievement Scholarships which are awarded on the basis of achievement in a national or international academic competition in a discipline offered by The Faculties or the Institute of the Arts to encourage continued high level academic achievement in those disciplines. There is no specific closing date but it is expected that applicants will notify the University of their achievement shortly after being formally advised by the organisation. ANU also awards 30 Honours scholarships each year to students undertaking the final honours year of their course. Applications close on 31 October.
