To be recognised as a 'commencing' ANU student, applicants must begin their ANU studies in either the Summer session or semester one of the year the award is being awarded. Students who started their ANU studies in the winter session or semester two of the previous year will be deemed 'continuing' and therefore ineligible for the award.
