ACEN Student Scholarships – for work placement
The Australian Collaborative Education Network (ACEN) is the professional association for practitioners and researchers from the tertiary education sector, industry, community and government, involved in Work Integrated Learning (WIL) in Australia.
2012 Scholarships
In 2012 ACEN will be offering five scholarships, each valued at $1,500, to assist students undertaking placements.
The scholarships are open to final year students in all disciplines from institutions that are financial members of ACEN.#
The placement must be:
- Undertaken in 2012
- In rural and remote locations which requires students to relocate from their home address
- Fulltime (4-5 days per week for a minimum of three weeks duration)
- Within Australia
The scholarships will be awarded on a basis of the achievement of WIL outcomes plus evidence of hardship. Supporting evidence will be requested during the application process. There are six Stages to the Application. See below.
# Institutions are currently renewing membership and a list is available on the ACEN website at http://www.acen.edu.au/join/member-universities/index.php
This list is updated periodically.
