APPLICATION FORM
Guidelines for the completion of this Sports Scholarship application
Provide sufficient information for each question on the form. Do not ignore the questions. Writing “see
attached” is not acceptable. A concise supplementary narrative covering the information requested can be
appended if you feel you can better present your case this way but summary information to each question
must be provided on the form.
In questions Q3-Q5, provide specific details about the representative teams in which you were selected or the
event in which you participated. Provide the full official name of the team/event (e.g. “NSW Combined Events
Championship” is acceptable while “state titles” is not) and whether it was an Age or Open team/event; date
of selection or of representative fixture and results (e.g. “NSW Combined Events Championship, 5-6 January
2013, Campbelltown, Women’s Heptathlon U20 – Placed 4th”).
Evidence of selection in a representative team or participation in a highlight even must be provided. This can
be done by providing a web reference to where that information can be found. If the website holds that
information for only a short period of time or if the required evidence is not available on the internet then
attach evidence of selection. Note that the application does not need to provide more than 7 documents of
selection/performance. If web references are not available, athletes who have been successful in multiple
events at district, state and national events should provide evidence for just their best 2 performances at each
level.
While applications must provide sufficient information to cover all questions, overly long submissions will not
be assessed more favourably.

This is an exam, so read all questions carefully first before answering.
Provide sufficient information to answer all parts of each question.
Each question seeks different information, so do not repeat information provided in answer to other
questions.
Except for information about the University of Newcastle representation, include only
information/selections from the last two (2) years.
If available, provide web references as evidence for all performances cited.
If attaching documents, please collate all these into one attachment with information presented in
the other indicated by the questions i.e. evidence for Q3 first, followed by evidence for Q4 etc.
Do not include testimonials or character references.
Applications close on 30 June each year. Applicants are advised to apply for a sports scholarship after enrolling.
If an application is lodged early in the year, applicants are advised to update the information provided with any
new relevant information before the closing date.
Sports scholarships are awarded on several criteria including sporting achievement, support for University
sport and academic performance. Minimum standards apply.
