Did you know that there are more than 300 scholarships out there for engineering and science students?! You are probably aware though that most scholarships tend to be for 2nd or 3rd year uni students because this is the time during your university career that you are settled into your degree and are begining to specialise in a major which in turn informs your career path. Having said that, there are still a decent number of scholarships especially for students begining uni in 2009. We are doing the hard work for you by tracking them all down and listing them here.
We have found 18 types of scholarships across five Queensland unis that are still open now! Some close as early as 28 November 2008 so you will need to hurry to apply for them but others are open until January 2009.
Good luck!
