Scholarship listens to part of a conversation between a student and a clerk in the scholarship department. Good morning. I am Jeanette. Good morning. I'm done. Ball duce. I've been accepted as a freshman next year and the faculty of arts and I would like information on what scholarships are available to first-year students. There are many scholarships available to first-year students. Some are only for one year and others are for the full four years of the degree provided that you maintain a specific high average. What kind of marks do you need to apply for the scholarships? Well, the top two percent of the entering freshman applicant pool are invited by the faculty committee on honors away awards and prizes to compete for the David Whyte scholarship. This is a scholarship of ten thousand dollars a year. What are your marks like? I have a ninety-two percent average from my school, but I have not yet received the marks from my government exams? Well, if you get ninety-five percent or better on your government exams, you could definitely be considered as a candidate for the David Whyte scholarship. The government exam is weighted fifty percent and your local school marks are waited. Fifty percent. Most students in the past who have received this award had an average of over ninety three percent for their combined score. Urn. If I don't get ninety five percent, would you say there was no use applying? Well, it certainly wouldn't be likely that you would be awarded this scholarship, but there is nothing preventing you from applying.
