How to Apply
Searching for scholarship vacancies
Scholarship vacancies are advertised on Recruitment Online. The peak advertising period is from August to December in preparation for the commencement of the new academic year..
When searching for vacancies it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the four categories of scholarships on offer and the likely locations of scholarship vacancies, taking into account your subject area expertise and preferences.
You can search for scholarship vacancies on Recruitment Online in two ways:
- You can undertake a ‘real time’ search (i.e. a search for currently listed vacancies) through the Job Search link. Use the Advanced Search functionality and check 'Teacher' in the Job Categories section and select 'Teacher Scholarship Program' from the Job Classification preference link and entering other appropriate search criteria under Locations and Subjects/Duties that will identify any current scholarship vacancies that match your criteria.
- You can save the above Job Search criteria by clicking the ‘Save Search’ button. You will be prompted to give the search an appropriate name, then click on ‘Use as Job Agent’ box. You will also need to provide a nominated email address then finally click ‘Save Search’. This will alert you via an email message to any advertised scholarship vacancy that meets your criteria.
