Scholarship Type

Uses the reported Scholarship type (E487: Scholarship type) value to determine the following categories:

Notes

  • Units of study which have been remitted are not included in this report.
  • Deleted records are excluded from the report.
  • The number of students is derived from the count of unique student IDs.
  • Students who appear in more than one category may be counted more than once.
  • Unit Enrolments with a census date (E489) in the future are excluded from the report.
  • E487 – Scholarship categories in summary tables of the 2021 onwards report include the total EFTSL of all units of study undertaken by students who have a particular scholarship. If a student has a valid scholarship at any time in the reporting year, EFTSL represents the total EFTSL of all units of study regardless of the effective from date and effective to date of the scholarship record. [Added on 28/06/2023]
  • When a student has multiple scholarships at any time in the reporting year, respective scholarship categories represent the total EFTSL for all units of study regardless of the effective from and effective to dates for the scholarship records.

    For example, if a student has RTP Fees Offset (E487 = 9) and RTP Stipend (E487 = 10) scholarships in the reporting year, the total EFTSL of all units of study undertaken by the student is counted under both scholarship types (E487 = 9 and E487 = 10). As a result, the sum of scholarship categories’ EFTSL may be greater than the Total EFTSL. [Added on 28/06/2023]
  • EFTSL values in drill-through includes the EFTSL value reported for each unit of study. [Added 28/06/2023]
