ANJI CVETKOVIC Bachelor of Teaching Equity and Merit Scholarship Sponsored by the University of Wollongong It can be really tricky juggling university and part time work – especially living in a rural area and commuting to classes each day. “Even though I am dedicated to my dream of becoming a teacher, sometimes trying to keep up with the workload, travelling, and earning enough to afford to do it all is overwhelming! The scholarship means I never have to worry about the incidental expenses of university – I know that each year I will have the money to pay my compulsory fees, excursions and textbooks. It makes a huge difference! Last year, the extra financial help meant that I could take some time off work during my practicum period, and concentrate on programming and preparing.” SCHOLARSHIPS FACULTY-SPECIFIC SCHOLARSHIPS
