Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts<br />
Diploma <strong>of</strong> Mathematics<br />
“My favourite subjects are<br />
Accelerated Mathematics and Latin.<br />
The pace is really fast, but I find<br />
maths really fascinating so it is<br />
worthwhile, and studying ancient<br />
civilisations in Latin through the<br />
books and texts they wrote<br />
themselves really gives a different<br />
insight to reading history books.<br />

discovering new pr<strong>of</strong>essions and new<br />

recipient<br />
Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Commerce<br />
“Studying a Commerce degree is<br />
virtually impossible while living where<br />
I’m from [in regional Victoria], so<br />
coming to Melbourne to study was<br />
a necessity.<br />
The benefit <strong>of</strong> the support I’ve<br />
received from these scholarships is<br />
that I have less financial pressure and<br />
strain resulting from studying away<br />
from home. It allows me to focus on<br />
completing my studies, and it also<br />
gives me both a networking<br />
opportunity and a mentor to help me<br />
gain the most out <strong>of</strong> my degree.”<br />

International Merit Scholarship<br />
recipient<br />
Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Commerce<br />
Mauritius<br />
“Being awarded the scholarship<br />
is <strong>of</strong> great benefit to me as it has<br />
enabled me to study here at the<br />
best university in Australia. Without<br />
it, I would have had less chance <strong>of</strong><br />
coming here because <strong>of</strong> the huge<br />
cost <strong>of</strong> university fees in my currency.<br />
My course is interesting and I like the<br />
diversity <strong>of</strong> cultures at the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
I now have friends from all over<br />
the world.”
