How to write a successful application:

Applying for a scholarship isn’t just about meeting the eligibility criteria. 

It’s a good idea to think about why you want a scholarship, it’s your opportunity to stand out from the crowd and be recognised for where you’ve come from and where you need to go.

Make sure you choose the correct Document type – ‘Deakin Humanitarian Scholarship only – Evidence of your visa and applicant statement’ when you upload your documents – it will make a difference. If your documents are uploaded into the incorrect type they will not be considered when assessing your application. Remember it is quality, not quantity, which you need to provide.  Aim to provide documents which are current, relevant and concise.

Supporting documentation should include:

• a copy of your visa
• statement of recommendation from a school or community leader (not a family member)
• other referee statements which could support your application
