I believe I am eligible for a scholarship but I am unable to apply within MyEd?
There are many reasons why the system may indicate that you are ineligible to apply. Here are a few of the most common:
The scholarship is only available to applicants and you have already started your degree programme.
Incorrect start date – generally the academic year for scholarships runs from August to July. If you have applied to begin your programme of study earlier than August then you would not be eligible to apply. For example an applicant due to commence their studies in April 2022 is not eligible for a 2022-2023 scholarship and would have to change their start date to a date within the period 1st August 2022 to 31st July 2023.
Ineligible programme of study: please check the eligibility criteria carefully as some programmes are excluded from particular scholarships.
Your chosen School or College is not participating in the scheme.
