In addition to a range of named scholarships offered by the College on the basis of academic distinction and community service, Janet Clarke Hall offers a range of bursaries to students, providing financial support upon the basis of demonstrated financial need. In addition to our scholarship programme, the College seeks where possible to cover a gap which may exist between a student's full financial capacity and the cost of College fees. Scholarships are recognised at our Commencement Dinner. If granted, all other financial support is treated as strictly confidential by the College; no other student will know that a student has received bursary support.
How to apply for a scholarship
All students who apply for entry to Janet Clarke Hall are considered automatically for a scholarship upon admission to the College - you do not need to apply for a scholarship in order to be considered. A selection committee including Council and University membership will consider all applicants with an eye to the following:Academic achievement. This includes your Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER/ UAI etc.) or equivalent (eg. OP/ Bursary/ A levels/IB etc.) for students entering from secondary school. For students already studying at the University, we will calculate an average grade point average from previous tertiary study.
Other points of distinction in terms of community service or scholarship, such as awards, prizes, etc. Supporting material evidencing these achievements (such as school prizes, etc) must be included with your application in order to be considered by the selection committee.
Please note that it is your responsibility to furnish all relevant information (photocopied documents are acceptable) in order to be considered for a scholarship.
How to apply for a financial support (a college bursary):
Bursaries help financially-needy students to live in residence at JCH. All applications for bursaries are kept strictly confidential to the College, and JCH bursaries are provided confidentially so that only the student, their parent, and the College is aware that a bursary has been awarded.Applicants for financial assistance should write directly to the Principal, enclosing supporting financial information on all sources of income and with a statement of assets, and return this information to the College with their application.
