to Year 12 students in recognition of leadership potential, and academic and
sporting achievements exhibited during Year 11. The award comprises of a laptop

school. There are up to 100 awards available on behalf of the Navy, Army and
Air Force which will be presented to suitable applicants who have applied for
entry to ADFA.
Award eligibility
To be eligible to apply for
the Education Award, you must currently be studying subjects that meet both the educational
qualifications for admission to the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and
single Service requirements. (See Entry Requirements for details). You need
to submit an application prior to 28 February in the year you undertake Year
12. You may apply for awards to all three Services, however, you will only be
assessed for the Education Award against your first preference. If you are
successful, you will only receive the award if you're enrolled in Year 12 at
the time of the award presentation and meet the age requirements for ADFA
entry.
Assessment
The application process
comprises the ADFA entry aptitude test, medical testing and a series of
interviews including an Officer Selection Board (OSB). Receipt of the ADFA
Education Award does not guarantee you entry into ADFA, as you will still be in
national competition against other candidates for entry.
Obligation of the recipient
The ADFA Education Award is
unbonded, which means there is no
obligation to accept an offer to attend ADFA, nor is the Australian Defence
Force obliged to offer appointment to an award winner.
Presentation
A representative of the ADF will present
the award to recipients at a school assembly in the second school term of Year
12.
