An EMS is valued at $2000 for one calendar year. The scholarship will provide a grant of $2000 paid in either Term 1, Term 2 or Term 3 depending on the term of application and pending enrolment status at HECS census date. Payment is made through electronic funds transfer (EFT) into the student’s nominated bank account.
