Increased access and equity scheme - Access Melbourne
The University of Melbourne has increased its commitment to access and equity for undergraduate students through a new special entry scheme called Access Melbourne, which includes an extensive scholarship scheme.
This will allow the University, by 2007, to increase the intake of students from educationally, financially or socially disadvantaged backgrounds enrolling in undergraduate programs by 50 per cent.
In 2005, the University made 220 Melbourne Access Scholarship offers; 192 of these offers were accepted.
The Access Melbourne scheme provides prospective students with the opportunity to explain the ongoing circumstances that have affected their chance of gaining a place at the University of Melbourne. All applicants will also be considered for a Melbourne Access Scholarship which offers a HECS -exempt place plus $2000 per annum.
