FAQs
Can I apply if I’m only 17?
Yes, but you’ll require parental or guardian consent (signature). OzTREKK will provide the necessary documentation for this signature.
If you won’t be 18 when your program starts, you’ll be required to show that you’ll be living with an approved guardian until you turn 18. If you don’t have an approved guardian in Australia, you may need a family member to apply for a guardian visa to accompany you. This guardian visa should be obtained as part of the student visa application.
Are there any scholarships for international students?
Scholarship options in Australia are usually limited for international students as they tend to be reserved for those undertaking postgraduate research degrees; however, we can advise you where to look and whether specific programs have a history of offering scholarships.
Occasionally, scholarships are granted to high achievers—those with very high marks. In previous years, we have seen $5000- to $10,000-scholarships given to OzTREKK students.
Check out OzTREKK’s Financing page to learn more about scholarships and paying for your degree.
What does “rolling admissions” mean?
Rolling admissions means the university assesses applications as they are received, AKA “first come, first served” or “first come, first offered.” As soon as they’ve met the quota and the program is filled, they usually start a waitlist and close the applications. So, for a program that has rolling admissions, the earlier you apply the better!
What is an “official” transcript?
An official transcript is one that is
- emailed directly from your university to OzTREKK via an official transcript service like Parchment or MyCreds; or
- mailed directly from your university to OzTREKK.
To process your application(s), universities require your transcripts to be certified, which we do on your behalf.
Should I start studies between high school and university?
You can begin your studies, but it’s important to discuss the appropriate application timeline with OzTREKK.
If you have 1+ years of studies taken at university level, the Australian/NZ universities will look at these marks and not your Grade 12 marks for the assessment. If you were to receive an offer of admission, it would be conditional on you completing your current studies (Grade 12 or a year of university) or showing that you have withdrawn from your university studies.
We understand this sort of thing can be complicated, so if you feel a phone call would help to clarify your situation, we’re happy to chat! Please call us at 1-866-698-7355 or email study@oztrekk.com.
When should I request my high school transcript?
The Australian universities will need at least one semester of Grade 12 marks to complete an assessment. Please wait until you have some Grade 12 marks before requesting your transcript.
When should I apply?
Applications typically open a year in advance of the program’s start date. We recommend that you begin your application as soon as possible. If you have an intake in mind, connect with your OzTREKK admissions team to discuss the best timeline for you.
What if my transcripts / documents are not in English?
If your documents are not in English, you must provide full translation of each document, either prepared by your university or by a registered translator. You must not translate the documents yourself.
For translations, have your institution send OzTREKK your official transcript. We’ll certify it and email it to the translator of your choice, directly.
Usually, the translators wait for your payment before completing the translation and returning it to our office. Please read How Do I Send My Transcripts for more information.
