I was over the moon when I secured the Co-op Scholarship, as I no longer had to stress or worry over what was going to happen the next year.

After researching the scholarships available for high school leavers, it became clear that the UNSW Co-op Program had a competitive edge.

One of the key defining features of the Co-op Program is its amazing support network and community environment.

I was so excited to receive a Co-op Scholarship, I know I have been given an incredible opportunity that will enrich my university life and help me establish develop my future, personally and professionally.

I was so excited when I realised that I had secured a Co-op scholarship and I definitely think being able to be part of the Co-op community from day 1 has made the transition into university a lot smoother.

Securing the Co-op Scholarship was one the biggest highlights prior to starting university! I knew I had secured myself a position with one of the most precious scholarships in Australia that would give me a head start in the workplace.

I want to finish university with more than just a degree and what differentiates Co-op from other cadetships and internships was the balance it offers between industry placements and experiencing university life.

Co-op has really given me a kickstart in terms of starting uni and I have already made good friends within the program which makes my day to day uni life that much more enjoyable.

Both the work placements with world class sponsors and the ability to meet and interact with like minded students, ensured that my university experience would be enriched.
