Lots of great information including:
PREP–an early entry program
Applications for the CSU Principal's Report Entry Program (PREP) close on 19 September so it's a good time to find out more about this opportunity. PREP is a great way for academically talented students from high schools in the non-metropolitan areas of NSW, ACT and Victoria to get their foot in the door at CSU. To be eligible, a Year 12 student needs to be identified by their school principal as a consistent achiever with the potential to succeed in university studies. Many CSU courses are available through PREP.
Scholarships
It's not just the smartest student in class who can be awarded a scholarship. While some CSU scholarships are based on academic merit, other criteria can include motivation to succeed, commitment to school, university or community life, or even living in a particular area. Check out the information on CSUPlus.
