The Academic Achievement Award (AAA) has been established to encourage academically gifted students who have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification from NSW and ACT high schools to undertake undergraduate study at UNSW.
The AAA comprises:
- Three adjustment factor points (included in the maximum total points) for entry into an undergraduate degree program at UNSW, except for Medicine (BMed MD) and Co-op programs
- Payment of $5,000 following confirmation of full-time enrolment at UNSW
The AAA can be deferred for up to 2 years, if the offer of Admission is formally deferred and the student does not undertake any other tertiary study in the meantime.
The AAA cannot be held in conjunction with a UNSW Scientia Scholarship or Jillian Segal Scientia Scholarship.
Payment of the AAA is made on the condition that students are enrolled in a full-time undergraduate degree program at UNSW, as at Census date in the year of award.
