Harshi WeeratungeMalcolm Chaikin Scholarship // B Commerce / B Science // Baulkham Hills High School While seeking an academic scholarship I was immediately drawn to the Malcolm Chaikin Scholarship because of the many opportunities it provides to recipients. The financial assistance allows focus to shift from earning income to pay off textbooks and other university expenses to spending more time on both academic studies and participation in UNSW activities. Having received this prestigious scholarship, I look forward to maintaining my academic performance in my chosen degree while contributing both to UNSW and the broader community. |
Fiona KnoxMalcolm Chaikin (Graduate) // Kinross Wolaroi, Orange // Bachelor of Science I grew up on a small property outside Orange in central NSW, and completed my school years at Kinross Wolaroi School, a local day and boarding school. At first, I was unsure which course I was going to undertake after my HSC. It wasn't until the end of my gap year that I finally decided on a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Ecology and Physical Geography at UNSW, since UNSW has such a great reputation for its science courses. Searching on the UNSW Scholarships web site, I found and applied for the Malcolm Chaikin Scholarship - among others - at the last minute. The scholarship has provided great assistance throughout my studies by enabling me to support myself away from home. With the help of the scholarship, I have had more time to participate in a wide range of university activities outside my course. These have included a number of university sports and outdoor activities like bushwalking and diving. The scholarship also assisted me during my 6 month International Exchange to Exeter University in the UK and during 5 months spent on a conservation project in South Africa. Without the assistance provided by the scholarship, I doubt that I would have been able to undertake such adventures - and still find adequate time for study! I am extremely grateful to Malcolm Chaikin and the UNSW scholarships office for the help they have provided to me throughout my degree, and encourage potential science students to apply. |
