High ATAR Student?
At ICMS, we offer a number of High Academic Places (HAPs) each February / March intake to students who demonstrate strong academic ability, as evidenced by ATAR ranking and/or interview. HAPs are equivalent in value to a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) at a public university. The cut off varies, but historically it has moved between a 70 to 80 ATAR.
Note that FEE-HELP (a government loan similar to HECS-HELP) covers 100% of the remaining tuition fees for all HAPs.
HAP offers are distinct from academic offers. If students do not achieve an ATAR result required for a HAP they may still be eligible for a UAC offer through the assessment of the student’s individual HSC subject results.
What is a HAP?
- HAP students receive a tuition fee subsidy for the duration of the degree. The number of places awarded varies each intake depending on the number and quality of applicants. As a guide, in the February 2024 intake, HAP students received a tuition fee subsidy of approximately 40% per-subject*. That is a saving of more than $28,000 and equivalent to a CSP at a public university.
- HAPs will be announced alongside UAC offer after ATARs are released.
* subsidy amount is subject to review each year
