Applications

Do I only need to submit one application if I am eligible for more than one scholarship category?

Yes. When completing your application for the Ma & Morley Scholarship Program you will be able to select multiple tick boxes for the categories you would like to apply for as part of the one application.

When I was applying for the scholarship, I accidentally uploaded the wrong document and I can't delete my upload, I was wondering what I should do?

Once you've uploaded a document to your application, you can view it, but you can't delete it until you have uploaded another document. So, it is suggested that you upload the correct document to replace the incorrect one, and then delete the initial file.

I am considering applying for this scholarship however I am concerned about the time required to participate in program activities. What is the minimum level of participation?

The Ma & Morley Scholarship Program was created to support students from all walks of life. However, unlike other opportunities, the Ma & Morley Scholarship is a scholarship program, which means we expect our scholars to have the capacity to demonstrate a commitment to our program’s values. To achieve this, scholars would be expected to attend all core activities in the key dates of the program.

Is it possible to defer the Ma & Morley Scholarship?

Unfortunately, we do not allow students to defer the Ma & Morley Scholarship. The reason for this is that one of the main benefits of the program is the friendships and life-long bonds that the scholars gain as a group. Although, we do encourage you to reapply for the Ma & Morley Scholarship Program once you decide to commence your University of Newcastle degree.
