• Must not be a current member of the ASiT Council or Executive Committee

Outcome

Applications will be marked against set criteria based solely on merit, vision and academic achievement/potential. The successful applicant will be notified shortly after the marking is done and reimbursed once proof of payment of tuition fees is provided to the ASiT Bursary Liaison (instructions on how to claim will be sent with the outcome letter).
