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 />

At university you’re always<br />

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

fields <strong>of</strong> study that might interest you<br />

– it’s great.”<br />

and Melbourne Access Scholarship<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.”
