This scheme recognises academic achievement and commitment to learning by rewarding students who achieve their school's highest ATAR (or equivalent) with entry to eligible undergraduate courses with a reduced ATAR.
To be eligible for the Future Leaders Scheme, you must:
Multiple students from a single school can be selected for this scheme if:
If your ATAR (or equivalent) is below the reduced ATAR, you may still be able to gain entry to the course through this scheme.
Place your selected course as your highest eligible preference in the main offer round for school leavers (this is usually December Round 2 or the first offer round after the release of your ATAR or IBAS).
If you receive the highest ATAR or IBAS in your school, and meet the reduced ATAR and any other admission criteria, you will receive an offer from the University of Sydney.
