As a Vice Chancellor’s Elite Scholarship applicant, you will be required to submit the following documents as part of your scholarship application:
- Evidence of your leadership, initiative, and service to your school and/or community. It is a COMPULSORY component of your application to use the Summary of Achievements template to present this evidence and upload as one Word or PDF document.
- Academic responses to two questions. Your responses should be entered into your scholarship application where prompted. We suggest drafting your responses in a Word document first and then copying and pasting them into the relevant fields in your application:
Feedback plays a critical role in personal development, shaping how individuals understand their progress and adjust their strategies in the classroom, on the sporting field/pool, and in the performing arts auditorium. Describe a time when feedback affected your motivation (either positively or negatively). Analyse why that feedback had the effect it did. How did you respond, or, in hindsight, how should you have responded? Write a 250 word academic response using first-person language. Do not include research, quotes or referencing and do not use generative AI, such as ChatGPT.
Different people in a group can have different ideas about what they are trying to achieve. Think about a group project you participated in where not everyone shared the same priorities (for example, getting good marks, finishing quickly, or learning new skills). Write a 250 word academic response using first-person language. Do not include research, quotes or referencing and do not use generative AI, such as ChatGPT.
- A school reference. As part of your application, you will be asked to provide your career advisor's details so please have these on hand. Bond will follow-up with them directly to request a reference.
- Please note; if you are short-listed for this scholarship you must attend a selection weekend, held at Bond University, on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September, 2026.
