General Notices
1. Boston Consulting Group Undergraduate Scholarship
Boston Consulting Group’s 2010 Undergraduate Scholarship are designed for students currently in their penultimate year. The recipient of the Scholarship must demonstrate exceptional ability in the following areas – academics, leadership, creativity, teamwork and communication.
Business experience is not required, but a curiosity about business is of benefit. Past Scholarship holders have come from a range of fields including law, commerce, arts, science and medicine.
The BCG scholarship for $10,000 has been in place for the last five years. It is a terrific opportunity not only to get some financial support while studying but also for students to learn a little about consulting as a career, as the process involves interviews in our offices with consulting staff.
Important dates to remember are:
Applications Close: Monday 30 August, 2010
Applications must be submitted to the following email address:
undergradscholarship@bcg.com
Along with a one page cover letter that demonstrates how you meet our eligibility criteria, a CV and academic transcripts.

3. Semester 2 Unit Evaluations
Just a reminder that Semester 2 Unit Evaluations are coming up and we would really appreciate your participation in the Unit Evaluation process. Your feedback on our Units is taken very seriously and the Chief Examiners use this information to continually improve the quality of our Units.
Last year in Semester 2 we achieved:
A student response rate of 50.39% compared with the University’s response rate of 42.11%.
An av. score on Q5 – Overall Satisfaction of 4.03 out of a possible 5.00 compared with the University’s score of 3.94
7 Units scoring in the ‘Outstanding’ category – so they scored > 4.7 on Q5 – Overall Satisfaction which is an amazing achievement and places them in the very best in the University!
Of course we are hoping to improve upon these figures for Semester 2 in 2010. For further information on Unit Evaluations please see: emuapps.monash.edu.au/unitevaluations/index.jsp
