Nearly all students who leave Great Lakes College and go on to study at University, end up going to either Sydney, the local New England area, the NSW North Coast or Southern Queensland.

On this pages you will find information about all the universities in these regions as well as information about all types of courses in different career and industry areas.

Scholarships and Early Entry Schemes.

University can be an expensive business. Scholarships are a great way of helping out with these costs. They can also be a way of guaranteeing yourself a job when you finish studying.
Scholarships can come in a variety of forms, including:

• academically competitive
• financial hardship
• rural students
• war veterans children
• disability
• scholarships offered by specific companies and employers

This is by no means a complete list. To see what scholarships are available, click here.

A number of universities have Early Entry Schemes where you can be offered a place before the normal round of UAC offers. Southern Cross, University of New England and Charles Sturt universities all offer these. These have strict deadlines and cutoff times so you need to be very aware of these. As I am notified of these (as well as specific scholarships)they will be advertised here (closing dates included).
