Terms and Conditions

The fine print you need to know

I am aware:

  • The number of SixStar Scholarships made available in any one year is determined by the SixStar trustees. SixStar will determine the sum made available for each scholarship awarded as well as the gender mix of scholarship recipients;
  • the Philanthropic Charitable Trust's Board Members are the final arbitrators as to the success or otherwise of any application irrespective of any published or implied criteria;
  • SixStar does not need to provide reasons why an application is declined;
  • the offer of a scholarship does not guarantee entry into the course SixStar has offered to fund. Applicants must apply separately for admission to the course specified;
  • scholarships are for agreed course fees only unless the Board Members, at their discretion, apply and distribute funds for associated costs as well;
  • SixStar will not fund any course or part of any course that an applicant has already commenced. Nor will it consider applications for scholarship funding which reimburses applicants for funding which they have already paid for in part or in total;
  • applications shall not be approved where the applicant is not the beneficiary;
  • fees will be paid to the institution directly;
  • applications may be held for up to seven years;
  • that my photo may be used in SixStar materials and I hereby grant SixStar permission to copyright and use, re-use and publish this picture of me without restriction in any and all media now or hereafter;
  • that if I do not complete the course requirements in the agreed timeframe that SixStar can call upon my guarantor to refund my scholarship.

In accepting a SixStar Scholarship, I will be asked to:

  • only use the scholarship for the course and date specified;
  • achieve satisfactory academic progress, and meet all course requirements;
  • act in a manner that will not bring disrepute to myself, or SixStar during the scholarship;
  • advise SixStar in writing if a scholarship is no longer required;
  • agree to pay any additional course fees/material that may occur;
  • allow the use by SixStar of my name, image and biographical details in advertising and publicity;
