6 Elboden Street, South Hobart (03) 6210 0100 jane.edu.au Tasmania 7004 [email protected] @janefranklinhall Jane Franklin Hall

Living at Jane is about more than having a bed: it’s an experience that transforms young adults into the people that they strive to be and forges ties to a unique community that extends worldwide. It’s an experience that they can attribute to their success in life and one they’ll never forget.

We are proud of our strong history supporting students to develop their academic, social and professional achievements. Many remain connected to Jane and enrich experiences we offer our residents and Non-resident members throughout the year.

We aim to harness students’ strengths, help them to grow into University life and make a positive contribution to the lives of others and the world around them.

Scholarships at Jane in 2022

In partnership with benefactors from around the world, Jane Franklin Hall provides tens of thousands of dollars annually to its residents in the form of scholarships.

Scholarships are crucial to achieving our purpose, allowing talent and motivation to be the guiding principles for entry into Jane and not personal circumstances or financial constraint.

Scholarships are awarded on specific criteria for each scholarship. For some scholarships, the amount of money awarded varies according to monetary interest rates and the generosity of particular donors.

Scholarships are paid as a remission of fees and students are encouraged to apply for as many scholarships as possible.

NEW Jane Community Scholarship Value: $9, 000 per year for up to three years

Offered to three Tasmanian students, who are entering Jane Franklin Hall in 2022 and are in their final year of school in 2021. While applicants must have received sound academic results from year 11, the most important criteria for this scholarship are about demonstrating good character and the potential to contribute positively to the College community. As this is a prestigious award for the College, shortlisted applicants will be required to attend an interview at the College, preferably in person in Hobart.

How to apply: download an application form online at www.jane.edu.au/fees- scholarships/scholarships/ submit your application directly to the College at [email protected] or by mail to 6 Elboden Street, South Hobart 7004 by 9.00am Monday 13 September 2021. Interviews for the shortlisted applicants will occur from late September 2021.

Non-resident Membership 1 Scholarships Value: $2200

We understand that many students are studying online. In that environment, connection, belonging and achievement are crucial to students transitioning straight from year 12. Non-resident Membership at Jane fills that gap, offering opportunities for new Uni students to take advantage of our tutorial, social and sporting life without living at College. We are offering a number of part scholarships, covering 90% of the Non-resident Membership fees, to those who are enrolled in an Associate degree or Bachelor degree at the University of Tasmania in any subject area in 2022, who intend to study offsite in 2022 and who are in their final year of school in 2021. The scholarships will be awarded based on financial need, good character and willingness to embrace collegiate life without being on campus. The funding is for one year.
