Eligibility for scholarships is determined by the student’s place of citizenship AND residence at the time of application (e.g. if the offer is made for the territory of Hong Kong, the holder of a Chinese passport living in Hong Kong is NOT eligible; the holder of a Hong Kong identity card or British passport living or studying in China is NOT eligible). Scholarships are not available to those already studying or living in Australia. |
|
Direct applicants as well as those applying through an agent are eligible for a partial tuition scholarship |
|
For English language courses, if the course is subsequently shortened or part refunded, the refund is made in accordance with the fee applicable to the actual course length taken e.g. a student receives a partial tuition scholarship of $1200 for a 20 week course, and the net fee paid is $6,000. If the student is eligible for a part refund after 10 weeks of study, then the refund will be calculated as $6,000 less 10 weeks x $360, or $2,400. |
| |
NOTE: a student who passes their English language course at the level required to enter an academic program at WCA, or a degree or study abroad program at UOW, is entitled to a part refund of tuition fees for the unused balance of their course. |
|
Where a student extends their course after commencing a course at WCA, the tuition fee for the period of the extension will be at the full tuition rate (NOTE: exception applies for Thailand – refer to scholarship document on representative site) NOTE: a student should be counseled to enroll for the maximum length likely to be required, since WCA fee policy allows for a transfer of fees from an English course into an academic course at the College (under conditions as advised on the WCA fees webpage) |
|
The scholarship must be taken up for the session in which it is offered. Where an applicant defers the course commencement date to a starting date after the expiry of the offer, the scholarship may not be re-offered.

| |
- those who have a full tuition fee waiver. |
| |
The offer of the scholarship will be included with the offer letter for the course for any eligible student, and will show the net fee, the amount of the scholarship and the full fee for the course. A note on the offer letter will direct the applicant to the conditions of the scholarship.
