UNSW & New College Making A Difference In The Lives Of Needy Students
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Attila Brungs of the University Of New South Wales has established a university-wide commitment called ‘The Gateway Equity Target’. This involves a commitment that 25% of commencing domestic undergraduate students at UNSW will be from disadvantaged backgrounds. The university sees offering scholarships and other forms of financial support as one of the key components to fulfilling this commitment.
For over 54 years, the New College Communities have continued to build character in each individual who becomes part of our college communities. We encourage our students to strive for academic excellence, serve one another and make contributions to the wider community. To assist needy residents to fulfil these outcomes, the New College Communities have developed several equity-based scholarships and bursaries. Scholarship and bursary assistance awards are conditional on College membership.
To be considered, applicants must have been accepted into membership of New College or New College Postgraduate Village, and have typically experienced some form of educational, economic, and/or social disadvantage. The contributing circumstances could include:
- Financial hardship
- Difficult home / family circumstances
- Rural / remote isolation
- Language difficulties
- Physical or mental disability
- Prolonged illness or condition
These scholarships aim to support needy students in their academic pursuits and ambitions, who would otherwise struggle to be part of our communities.
