Understanding the Scholarship Eligibility result
Read comparison with entered criteria alongside academic criterion and income criterion. These describe different parts of the same calculation.
Displayed results use a readable number of decimal places. When checking a result by hand, keep extra precision until the last step. To compare scenarios, change one input at a time and keep the others fixed.
- Example Academic criterion: Met
- Example Income criterion: Met
Scholarship Eligibility Calculator: assumptions and common mistakes
A useful estimate starts with the right inputs. Check the following assumptions and limits before applying the result to your situation.
- This is a criteria checker, not an award or complete eligibility decision. Residency, category, course, documentation and scheme-specific conditions may also apply.
- Grading factors, cutoffs and admission rules differ by institution and year. Compare the result with the applicable published policy.
