Northcote Trust Scholarship

Now Open Closes 18 April

RMIT is pleased to announce a new Scholarship for 2008. This scholarship will be open to TAFE students in a pathway program who intend to move through into a higher degree. It is also open to Higher Education students who have moved from a Diploma at RMIT into a Higher Degree Program.
