Academic Distinction Scholarship

Scholarship Value

• The Academic Distinction Scholarship is valued at $1,000 per semester.
• The scholarship amount is credited directly to the student’s tuition account and is not paid out as cash.

Eligibility Criteria

• Be currently enrolled as a full-time student at WLIC.
• Have completed full-time studies (minimum 1.5 academic credits) in the semester immediately prior to the scholarship award semester, achieving competencies in all courses of their current program.
• Have no outstanding fees on their student account.
• Not have previously received an Academic Distinction or Academic Merit scholarship, nor had any Navitas scholarship or bursary withdrawn.
• Not be receiving another Navitas scholarship in the same semester; if shortlisted for multiple scholarships, the one with the greatest value will be awarded.

Conditions and Exclusions

• The scholarship applies only to academic studies completed for an undergraduate program at WLIC.
• Students remain responsible for paying the remainder of their semester course fees after the scholarship is applied.
• Scholarships are non-transferable to other students or Navitas member institutions.
• Navitas member institutions reserve the right to withhold awarding some or all scholarships in any given year.
• Scholarships cannot be backdated.

Selection Process

• Selection is primarily based on the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) from the previous semester’s full-time studies.
• In cases of tied academic results, detailed marks from individual courses will be reviewed to determine the recipient.
• Additional considerations may include educational disadvantage, membership in specific equity groups, or significantly adverse personal circumstances to differentiate between equally qualified applicants.
• An interview may be conducted if required as part of the selection process.

Notification

• Recipients are announced after the completion of each semester and following the course registration period for the next term.
• Successful students are notified via email and their names are posted on the college or campus website.

Application Process

• No application is required; the scholarship is awarded automatically based on academic performance in undergraduate programs.
