Dean's Scholars Program

The Dean's Scholars Program was launched in February 2005 with the induction of 19 high achievers into the Program. A joint initiative of the Executive Dean's Office and the Centre for Learning Innovation, the Program is designed to identify the top 20 students approximately across all undergraduate education programs based on GPA at the end of each year of their study. The students will be awarded a certificate and provided with support and mentoring to help them maintain high achievement and raise awareness of the research pathway and post-graduate research courses.

High achieving undergraduate students in education.

Rationale:
The underutilised potential of undergraduate students to become part of the research activities of the University.
