Terms & Conditions
International Student
This scholarship is only for international students. Permanent residents or citizens of Australia will not be considered.
The recipient must be the holder of a foreign passport with an Australian Government student visa number 573 (higher education).
The recipient must at all times abide by the terms of the visa. This includes adhering to the number of hours employed per week, attendance at the course of study and obeying Australian laws. If the Australian Government withdraws the visa, then the scholarship will be discontinued.
The University and course of study
The recipient must be studying Business at a recognised Australian university in Australia. Courses delivered online, or at offshore campuses will not be considered.
The first year of the scholarship must be for the first year of an undergraduate degree. ELICOS, TAFE, vocational courses, private providers or post-graduate degrees will not be considered.
‘Business’ is a fairly generic term for courses that might encompass Commerce, Economics, Accounting, and related degrees; and the degree may be a joint degree such as Business-Law.
The recipient must allow the exchange of personal information between ACER and the university, for example, contact details and results.
The recipient must receive passes in all subjects each semester for the scholarship to continue into the next semester.
The recipient must abide by the rules and standards of conduct of the university, particularly as regards to attendance and plagiarism, and be of good moral character. If the university reports a serious breach of these rules and standards to ACER, the scholarship may be discontinued.
Payments
The total value of the scholarship is AUD$50,000, and this is payable over two-three years. ACER cannot pay the recipient cash or lump sums, because this would affect his/her tax requirements, and could impact on the work restrictions of the visa.
Instead, payment will be made on receipt of appropriate invoices from the university for tuition fees up to a maximum of $12,500 each semester.
As this is a generous scholarship, the recipient must not be in receipt of other scholarship funds.
ACER
The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) is very pleased to invest a significant sum of money in a clever international student whom we hope will have a positive learning experience in Australia, and will return to their home country as an ambassador for Australian international education. We want to get to know you and your university, and be proud of your achievements.
To that end, ACER would like to acknowledge the recipient on three occasions – before, during and at the end of the scholarship period. This may include an interview and photograph or film in some kind of media promotion. The recipient must be prepared to engage positively with this.
Staff in the AISS project office at ACER and the recipient will develop a relationship, particularly relating to the arrangements for the payment of the invoices for the scholarship.
The recipient must keep ACER informed of their current address and contact details during the term of the scholarship.
The recipient will sign a contract with ACER. The legal document is available on request to the AISS Office.
