The Kelver Hartley French Equity Scholarship is available at the University of Newcastle in Australia. It is aimed to assist a University of Newcastle student with a French major who is experiencing educational disadvantage.
Historically, the University of Newcastle Medical School has used the problem-based learning system for its undergraduate Bachelor of Medicine curriculum, which was later mandated by the Australian Medical Council for usage throughout Australia. It was the first to employ the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT) in the early 1990s. Since then, UMAT has been generally acknowledged as an extra selection criterion by several medical schools around Australia.
The University of Newcastle is a member of the Australian Technology Network, Universities Australia, and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
The scholarship provides a total benefit of $5000, which will be given in one single sum following the applicable census date.
