Apply for an academic achievement scholarship and make the most of your ambition and time at RMIT and be rewarded for your achievements too.
In 2012, mother of two, Jolanta Larmane, successfully applied for the George Alexander Foundation Scholarship, which recognised her academic ability, leadership potential and passion for community involvement. The scholarship enabled her to pursue a three-year Bachelor of Applied Science (Nursing) program at RMIT. It has boosted my condence a lot and its a great blessing, Jolanta says. I cant work because Im a single mum. Im studying full time and all my weekends go. Id have had to drop out of uni. Jolanta is heavily involved in the Latvian community, a factor that contributed to her winning this academic achievement scholarship. Its all volunteer work, she says. Ive been teaching at the Latvian school since 2005. I started teaching kindergarten and a preschool group on Saturdays and, the last three years, Latvian folklore and music. In 2010 I coordinated the choir concert at the Latvian arts festival. [This RMIT scholarship is] proof that you can succeed ... If you study hard and do as best you can it will be valued by others, Jolanta says. [It] suited me because of my community leadership and my academic achievement. I think future opportunities are wider now that Ive won the scholarship. Its been proven already that I can succeed and I hope and believe it will continue with my career.

Whether you have a passion for business, the sciences, the artsor fashion, like Georgina Ridge, herean RMIT equity scholarship could set you on the career path of your choice, and keep you there.
Before applying to study an Associate Degree in Fashion Design and Technology at RMIT, Georgina was living at home in Tasmania, undertaking a diploma. At home I worked two casual jobs and helped on the family farm as well as studying. Tasmania is a beautiful place to live but for a career in fashion, I felt that I needed to move interstate, Georgina says. My scholarship money means Ill have time to be creative, to process my thoughts and to put more into what I really want to achieve. Fashion students can enter a range of creative garment exhibitions and competitions locally and nationally. Im really interested in being part of those and creating bespoke garments but without the scholarship I wouldnt have the time or the money for materials. Also, students in our program are encouraged to apply for industry internships, she adds, referring to RMITs focus on producing graduates who are ready to work as soon as they nish their program. Without my scholarship money Id have to spend my time working instead. Being awarded a scholarship is a real condence boostera feeling of security and achievement, Georgina says. I feel so privileged that it makes me want to do better. If there are nancial, geographic or social factors that are affecting your ability to study, check out RMITs wide range of equity scholarships today. Who knows? Like Georgina, you could be on the catwalk, heading for the career youve always dreamed of.

OpEN THE DOOr TO SUccESS

NEED aSSiSTaNcE TO maKE YOUr mOVE TO MELBOUrNE?
Take a tip from RMIT Accommodation Support Scholarship recipient Jean Moselen, and apply for an accommodation scholarship today.
The accommodation scholarship really helped because I moved from Brisbane to Melbourne to study at RMIT. It took the nancial stress away from trying to nd a house and getting the bond, having moved to another city. I was able to buy things for the house, feel comfortable, and start at a new university, feeling as though Ive got my roots down in Melbourne. It really made me settle in a lot easier. I also received the Study Support Scholarship, which helped me buy stationery and a desk, and stuff like that. It also took away the worry of having to have a part-time job. Since I was 15 I had a part-time job, and it did impact on my studies because I was working weekends and nights. Now Im able to study, and prepare for labs and tutorials. I got all high distinctions this semesterthat wouldnt have happened if I didnt have the scholarship. Its the best marks Ive ever got. Just having the scholarship, it was amazing. Why RMIT? Mainly the work experience aspect of my degree. They have a lot of hands-on, real-world examples, so you feel more prepared. As soon as I looked at the RMIT website [for the rst time], it was like, This is what I want. The scholarships were icing on the cake, really.

FULFiL YOUr pOTENTiaL

Explore the range of scholarships available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. You could have your cake and eat it too (cherries and all), just like Matthew Maza.
Matthew Maza was working one day a week while studying a Bachelor of Business (Economics and Finance). He then received the Indigenous Commonwealth Education Costs Scholarship, which assisted him to reduce his work commitments. Probably the best thing Ive done to date was come to RMIT, Matthew says. The reason I came here was that my auntie attended RMIT, and she told me it was a really good university and I took her word for it. I came and I had a walk around one day, and it felt good. I really enjoy the diversity. RMITs got it right. As an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Matthew was also automatically eligible for, and successfully granted, the RMIT Study Support Scholarship and the RMIT Equity Notebook Scholarship. Coming from work and then to uni, theres a huge decrease in income, he remarks. (The scholarships have) really helped a lot. Its like a stress relief. Instead of me seeking out work and needing to nd extra money, its taken a load off my shoulders. The scholarships are a sense of achievement, he adds. Its a cherry on the top. It makes you feel really good about the decision that you have made.

Apply for one of these scholarships and make your overseas study ambitions come true, just like RMIT Equity Travel Grant recipient, Hayden Harvey.
I received the RMIT Equity Travel Grant and Ive also received the Study Support Scholarship. I applied for the grant to help fund my trip to Europe. Im going for a study tour in Brest for two weeks in winter. I really wanted to go overseas because Ive never been outside of Australia before but I also wanted to incorporate it into my studies as well. A study tour is a little taste of overseas; it wasnt going to be six months that Id be over there. I grew up in a small country town, just outside of Ballarat, so Ive never really experienced so much of what the world has to offer. Ive loved moving down to Melbourne, because its opened my eyes to so much culture and so many things I wouldnt have seen if I was living where I was living. Its nice to know theres so much more out there and so much more to experience as well. The study tour Im going on is run by the Economics and Finance section of the School of Business, which ties in very well with my degree. My major is nance and economics, and that is quite a global eld. I thought it would just be wonderful, when I do end up graduating, to say that I have an understanding of economicsnot just in Australia, but across the world as well.

Pursue your passion with one of these scholarships, just like Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) scholarship recipient Rozina Abdul Rani.
I was awarded the APA scholarship in 2011. Before this I was working as a researcher in my home country, in Malaysia. Its a big dream for me to pursue a PhD overseas. If I didnt get the scholarship, I couldnt pursue my study here. At RMIT, I have [gained] a lot of knowledge in research, especially in my area, solar cell and nano-material. RMIT is one of the universities that provide a good platform to do research, especially in my area. So theres a lot of expertise, and complete facilities for me to do the research. I hope I can be an expert scientist in the solar cell area, because nowadays energy is very important in our life. So solar cell may be one of the technologies to provide that energy. Its green energy, green technology and I hope I can contribute a valuable invention to the solar cell society. I would encourage other students to apply for a scholarship. This is one of the ways that you can pursue your studies and live your dream.

Scholarships for specic study areas have the ability to enhance your educational experience and employability in the work force for when you complete your program. Like William, here, being granted a SEWEURODRIVE Scholarship helped drive his education pursuits.
Williamss bachelor degree has an industry work experience requirement, and this scholarship assisted the facilitation of this and more. My industry placement denitely adds to my resume and it means Ill be able to talk about my experiences at SEW-EURODRIVE in job interviews. I hope to start off as an electrical engineer then work my way up into project management. Because of the scholarship and the workplace experience Ive gained I think Ive got a better chance of getting a graduate job. If I had not applied for a scholarship I would have missed out on experiences at SEW. The placement was a lot more valuable than the money. It was real hands on experience with actual technical aspects of actual projects. I think scholarships are valuable because, apart from nancial aid, they give you the extra motivation to achieve high, to strive for a goal. You feel like you have to perform to get a scholarship then live up to it. RMIT has a wide range of discipline based scholarships. Who knows? Like William your employability may hugely increase even before you nish your degree.
