  • Not have previously received an Academic Distinction or Academic Merit scholarship nor had a scholarship or bursary from Navitas withdrawn.

  • The Scholarship Selection Committee will award the scholarships based on the quality of nominations, as determined by personal circumstances and academic performance.
  • Additional factors such as educational disadvantage, member of specific equity group and/or significantly adverse personal circumstances may be taken into account where the scholarship selection committee must differentiate between equally qualified applicants.

The scholarship selection committee will announce the recipients of the Navitas Academic Distinction Scholarship upon the completion of each semester and following the course registration period for the subsequent term. The recipients will be notified by email and the successful students posted on the college/campus website.

Students are not required to apply for the scholarship as it is awarded based on nominations submitted by WLIC instructors.
