2013 Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Scholarship Program

The program welcomes new partners

The Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Scholarship Program was much larger in 2012, thanks to the involvement of new scholarship partners. Several Community Bank^® branches around Australia and other Bank partners offered their own scholarships for first-time tertiary students as part of the 2012 program. This combined scholarship program was able to assist even more students across Australia, with several new scholarships also available in selected metropolitan areas too!

We hope to welcome even more partners to the scholarship program in 2013.

2013 Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Scholarship

This national scholarship will continue in 2013 and will maintain its focus on students from rural and regional areas who must move away from the family home to study.

Applications for the 2013 scholarship program will open in late 2012.

We will have full information available from the above date, but in the meantime please see our criteria below for your review. The below is provided to give you an insight into what the scholarship looks for so you can check your suitability without having to wait until the next round opens.

Criteria for all scholarships

The criteria for each scholarship will vary, especially in terms of the catchment area (e.g. our partners will offer scholarships to local students from their area), so please ensure that you are aware of the criteria of each of the above scholarships once the details are available at the end of the year.

However, all scholarships do seek the following basic criteria:

You are an Australian citizen or permanent resident
You will be an undergraduate in 2013 (and this is your first attendance at an Australian university/college)
You graduated from secondary school in either 2012 or in 2011 (you took a gap year)
You can demonstrate the disadvantage that is preventing you from taking up the opportunity of this further study
You are an outstanding student and can demonstrate extensive community involvement

How to apply

Applications can only be made online and further information will be available on this website in late 2012. Unfortunately we cannot accept applications outside of the application period and kindly request your assistance in this regard.
