Each application is given a ranking based on how well it satisfies the requirements and in relation to other applications. A successful application is not always guaranteed, even if you are qualified or have previously been a recipient. A scholarship will only be given out when there is a qualified applicant. All applicants are now informed that their designated email address will be used to communicate any requests for additional information supporting their applications. Any additional information required will need to be submitted again by the students. The application will be deemed incomplete and not taken into consideration if additional information is not provided. Since Fitzroy Partnership for River Health receives applications directly, the Scholarships and Financial Assistance Team is unable to give students updates on the status of their individual applications until all assessments have been finished. Only student email accounts will be used to inform applicants of the results of their applications. All judgments are final.
