Study Scholarship Opportunity Now Open

Do you know a tertiary student that could benefit from a study scholarship? As course and training fees in many fields of study have increased and as inflationary pressures in recent times have impacted many individuals, students may be facing challenges with their expenses. Jade Car Loans is proud to be involved with the Jade Finance study scholarship opportunity to support tertiary students with the costs of their studies.

This tertiary study scholarship is offered in the form of a $5,000 award which will be granted to the student with the winning written response around the theme of finance and lending. To apply, students are asked to present a 800 word response on a topic or angle of their choosing.

The current economic, social, environmental and technical situation presents many ideas for improving the way the finance sector, regulators, governments and other stakeholders operate. The role of RBA is under review as laws around consumer finance and government policies are always scrutinised through parliamentary committees.

Actions which are sure to spark opinions and theories from the student community about how the area of the lending sector can be improved. The ideas and topics for the submission may come from many areas including the motor vehicle sector.

If you know a tertiary student that has been very vocal on what is or has been happening in the Australian economy, advise them of this opportunity to put their ideas in writing in an application. The focus of Jade Car Loans is car loans for business but students across the tertiary studies spectrum are welcome to apply for the study scholarship.

Details of Study Scholarship

The specific eligibility criteria and the terms of the scholarship can be read at Jade Finance Australia of which Jade Car Loans is a business arm. As a brief overview – applications are invited from any student, part or full time, who has completed one year of study and is enrolled in training or course at a recognised higher education provider or at a tertiary institution in Australia. Providers may include universities, TAFE, colleges and others.

The main part of the application is the 800 word submission on the theme of lending and finance, which is our business focus. But applicants can be studying in any tertiary field. Within that general theme, applicants have the latitude to select their own topic which may be associated with their field of study or general interest.

Applications with the original written response will be assessed by the judging panel. The application deemed the most outstanding will receive the $5000 study scholarship. The funds are to go towards the study expenses.

Inspiration for Written Response

The written response must be the original work of the applicant and can cover their choice of topic within the theme of finance and lending. To provide inspiration, our team has come up with some suggestions to start those thought processes.

The motor vehicle finance sector is one of the largest in Australia with many lenders and many customers wanting car loans. Cars and business vehicles are still the major form of transport in Australia and that many new car buyers will require finance to make their purchase.

As such a large area of finance, there are many aspects which may be explored in the submission. Law students may have ideas around finance and lending laws. Technology and IT students may address that aspect of how finance is offered and secured and how new tech can better be utilised. Humanities students may focus on social issues and how the lending sector can better address finance needs.

A major topic of interest in the motor vehicle sector is reduction of carbon emissions. Cars are one of the biggest global emitters and manufacturers have been working hard to produce vehicles with less emissions. Governments and others have been pushing hard to encourage the take-up of electric vehicles.

Amid the push for policies and direction on climate change, applicants might like to explore the role of motor vehicle finance lenders in promoting climate change and supporting buyers that choose low-emitting and alternative fuel vehicles.

That is just the tip of the iceberg of what students can address in their submission and we look forward to being impressed with the ideas that emerge in the applications.
