The Australian scholarship tutor "takes a fancy" to your scholarship and gets a point.

China News Network News According to the Shanghai Overseas Chinese News, as a popular country for studying abroad, the advantages of its educational resources can be imagined. In order to attract more outstanding students to study in Australia, many famous universities in Australia have jointly launched preferential policies suitable for China students, including multi-channel applications to cater to students of different levels to go to Australia, and generous scholarships for students with excellent grades and high English proficiency. These policies can not only reduce the difficulty for students to apply for Australian universities, but also greatly reduce the financial burden on their families, which is also an affirmation of their own abilities. More importantly, the experience of getting a school scholarship is of great help to students in finding jobs in the future. Prepare for the Australian University Scholarship Q&; Reporter A synthesized some students who are interested in staying in Australia and asked relevant overseas experts about some scholarship issues that they are generally concerned about. After reading it, you will have a general understanding of scholarships in Australian universities. Q: What are the scholarships for Australian universities? A: Scholarships from Australian universities are mainly for doctoral or master students studying research courses. There are fewer undergraduate scholarships, which are mainly awarded to local students. Scholarships for research courses mainly include APA (Australian Postgraduate Scholarship) and IPRS (International Postgraduate Scholarship) established by the Australian government. The main purpose of IPRS is to help international students get research degrees in Australia and to cooperate with top researchers in Australia to increase their experience. International students from all countries except New Zealand can apply for this scholarship to pursue a two-year master's degree or a three-year doctoral degree. The scope of scholarship payment includes the tuition and medical insurance expenses of the scholarship winner, as well as the medical insurance expenses of his family. There are about 330 IPRS scholarships every year, with a total scholarship of 20 million Australian dollars. It turns out that international students are not allowed to apply for APA scholarships. In order to attract overseas talents to study in Australia, IPRS scholarship winners can also apply for APA at 20 1 1. In addition, ordinary universities in Australia have invested in IPA (International Postgraduate Award), including living expenses, which are automatically awarded to IPRS winners without applying separately. Q: What are the requirements for applying for IPRS? A: First of all, international students studying for doctoral or master's degrees in research courses have already obtained the offer from the school. Other conditions vary from school to school. Generally speaking, the main criteria are two: undergraduate achievement and work experience. The vast majority of China students who have obtained IPRS have been working for at least 3 years. If you have no work experience, your undergraduate or even graduate grades must be very good, ranking within 3%. It should be noted that Australian universities generally have practice? Local protectionism? Non-Australian education should be compared with Australian education after 10% discount. For example, two students, one of whom graduated from West Sydney with an average score of 82, and the other graduated from Tsinghua, China (even Harvard, USA) with an undergraduate score of 90, then the school should multiply the latter's score by 0.9, which is 90? 0.9=8 1, then the competitiveness of the latter lags behind that of the former. However, for those who apply for IPRS, this has little impact. After all, most people who have obtained undergraduate degrees in Australia have obtained permanent resident status, so they will not compete for IPRS. But for new immigrants who want to apply for APA, it is troublesome. Therefore, it can be found that most of the successful applicants for APA are undergraduate students in Australia. Q: What should I prepare before applying? A: First of all, you should meet the requirements of normal admission, such as the total score of IELTS is 6.5, and each course is not less than 6. By the way, your English score doesn't affect your scholarship application. Even if you get 9 points, it's not much different from your 6.5 points. This is not the same as GRE. Only IELTS scores are recognized when applying for scholarships. Letter of recommendation: Generally, undergraduate or graduate students only need to sign the name of the tutor or department head. But if you have foreign friends, such as foreign teachers, it is useful for them to write their own letters of recommendation. Foreigners can tell which letter is true at a glance. Generally speaking, the evaluation of applying for professional tutor scholarship is to interview the primary election first, and then the final candidate is determined by the scholarship evaluation Committee of the school. If you get the appreciation of one of your tutors, it will be of great help to your application. Other materials are described on the school website. Q: When do you apply? A: Generally, the admission time in Australia is February and July, and the latest time to apply for scholarships is from August of the previous year to 10. All materials must be sent to the university before this. Some schools allow IELTS scores to be a little late. Note: Many schools are not allowed to enroll in July, and some expressly stipulate that IPRS applicants must start formal study before March 3 1; Although some claim that they can enter school in spring or autumn, they often send admission notices in February. Q: When will the application result be announced? A: The general admission notice will be sent within 1 to 2 months after application; IPRS results will be published from the end of 10 to the middle of February, and the telephone number is 165438+. Generally, schools require applicants to give a reply on whether to accept or not within 15 to 20 days. If it expires, the quota will be automatically transferred to the next person. Therefore, after mid-June, it is possible to receive the scholarship offer in 5438+February. Actual combat case

Allen, a graduate of undergraduate school, ranks around 30 in the country with a score of less than 5%. I also won school-level awards at the graduate stage. Some papers won the second prize of excellent papers of provincial association for science and technology. I have worked for seven years, the first three years in scientific research institutions, and the last four years in large state-owned enterprises in China, doing technical management. The IELTS score is only 6.5. Application results: IPRS and IPA scholarships from the University of Sydney. Among them, IPRS includes tuition, health insurance and visa fees. IPA provides an annual 18484 Australian dollar living expenses application process: 1. There are not many famous Australian universities in the world. In order to attract foreign students, online evaluations are flattering, and most of them are aimed at undergraduate education, and there are not many materials that really evaluate the scientific research strength of Australia. I applied for USDY (University of Sydney), UMELB (University of Melbourne) and UQ (University of Queensland), and I also chose Monash University and UTS (University of Technology, Sydney) as guarantees. 2. Arrange IELTS test on June 5438+00, 2009; From June 2009 to June 20091October+065438+May 2000, contact relevant personnel and tutors of various schools and departments; June-July 20 10, prepare and send the application materials; August 2065438+00-June 10, waiting for the admission notice; 201011-65438+February and other scholarships; 2010 65438+February-20 20 10 65438+2+March, visa. Regarding contacting schools and tutors, most universities suggest contacting tutors before formal application and sending them research plans and resumes. If the tutor takes a fancy to you, there is a great chance of success. This is especially important for applying for scholarships. Generally speaking, sending emails to the admissions office of the school and the administrative staff in charge of graduate management in the department will have a reply, but the substantive gains are not great, but sending emails directly to the tutor is different. The following is my contact with my mentors: UMELB: I chose two mentors, and their attitudes are very kind. One person said that I might be an excellent applicant and asked his secretary to mail me school information. Another tutor said that his computer couldn't open the attachment of my old email, but he also welcomed it. The friendly answers from these two tutors gave me great confidence in UMELB, and a large number of scholarships made me list it as my first choice. USDY: There is no suggestion to contact the tutor in advance on the Internet. The research proposal and resume I sent to my tutor also sank into the sea. Plus, the number of scholarships is small, so I don't have much hope for it. UQ: It is worth mentioning that in the whole application process, UQ has the friendliest attitude and the most transparent information, and the applicant is clearly informed of every step of the application. I had a good impression on it during the application process. The graduate students in the department first forwarded my email to all the teachers in the department and told me that four teachers were interested in me and asked me to contact them. Finally I chose one of them. UTS: My tutor is very interested in me and told me that if I apply for IPRS University, he can give me money from the research fund as my living expenses. 3. Sending materials I sent all the application materials of the above schools in July 13, one and a half months ahead of the deadline, in case I need to make up the materials. All schools send confirmation letters by email as soon as they receive the materials. The rest of the time is waiting and urging. UQ works at an amazing speed. Twenty days after receiving the materials, I was informed by email that I was accepted, and I was offered a scholarship (living expenses USD 12000). This is my first bid. Although the money is not much, it is only one third of the total bonus, but it gives me great confidence. I think this has a lot to do with my tutor's help, because he showed great interest in me. The University of Sydney went well and told me in early September that it had been accepted. Other schools are not so lucky. They sent emails asking questions and kept saying that they were still being audited by the department. /kloc-In October, applications were received from the Joint Urban Economic Committee, UNSW and UTS. A little disappointed, UNSW only gave a master's degree through research, and after one year, he can transfer to a doctoral degree according to his performance. It's just that getting accepted is not what I need. I want a scholarship, at least half of the bonus. Because of UQ's living expenses, I was a little less stressed when waiting for the scholarship from 10 to 12. USYD's scholarship notice was received on165438+1October 25th. At noon that day, I was lying in bed, reading my mailbox with my notebook, and USYD's mail arrived silently. On February 4th, 65438+ received the official notice by mail. Australian universities have increased the number of scholarship applications. 20 1 1 Although famous Australian universities have continuously raised the admission requirements, especially the improvement of students' language ability, many students have been rejected, but at the same time, many schools have provided more opportunities for China students to apply for scholarships. Bond University, a famous private university in Australia, offers various scholarships, but it is worth noting that all scholarships must be applied at least half a year in advance. Deakin University offers scholarships ranging from $3,000 to $8,000 per capita. Baridi University provides 50% tuition fee remission for TAFE, undergraduate and master students who enroll in July every year. The University of Southern Queensland also provides 65,438+00%-25% tuition fee remission for undergraduates of Engineering College and 25% tuition fee remission for postgraduates of Engineering Technology. ?
