AMWS Maritime Scholarships
Background & Application Process
Background & Application Process
Since 1999 ongoing funding has been made available for the provision of scholarships which are intended to promote the training and professional development of children of seafarers or ex-seafarers (including merchant marine, Navy and deep sea fishermen) of low or moderate financial means. The scholarships apply to each semester of an Australian Registered Training Organisation (RTO) including those approved by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (refer www.amsa.gov.au ) providing training in a maritime related discipline including sea-going courses and commercial courses in the maritime industry.
Applicants must be undertaking a sea-going course approved by AMSA or recognised maritime commercial course or have undertaken such a course within the previous 6 months. Relevant documentary evidence must be provided in support of the application as set out in the attached application form.
The support programme is normally awarded in each semester up to the value of $3,000 per scholarship to assist students with course fees and pay living, travel to course and associated expenses. A selection panel of the RTO considers applications and recommends to the AMWS Council suitable candidates who match the stipulated criteria or eligible students can apply directly using the attached application form. The decision of the AMWS Council in any individual case will be final and no appeals will be considered. The Council reserves the right to modify the amount or terms and conditions of the scholarship as appropriate.
Assistance has been provided over many years to the Australian Maritime College (AMC), the Hunter TAFE and South Metropolitan TAFE, WA.
Potential applicants at AMC should access their website and for further information contact Ms Lee-Anne Phillips, Scholarships & Prizes Officer, Student Centre, e-mail to l.phillips@utas.edu.au tel (03) 6226 2725, web http://www.scholarships.utas.edu.au or by mail University of Tasmania, Private bag 45, Hobart , TAS 7001.
