A former student of the institute, Freya Newman, brought to light publically that Whitehouse had offered Frances Abbott a scholarship for a Bachelor of Design. This kind of scholarship had not been offered for other students at the institute to apply at the time, and the institute has come under heated question for offering it to a potential student from such a high social profile family.<ref>http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/22/former-classmates-angry-scholarship-abbotts-daughter</ref> <ref>https://newmatilda.com/2014/05/24/frances-abbott-chosen-merit-help-lobby-fed-govt-regulators</ref> <ref>http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/25/frances-abbott-scholarship-leanne-whitehouse-pressed-pm-to-cut-red-tape</ref> <ref>http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/22/freya-newman-the-whistleblower-behind-frances-abbotts-scholarship-should-be-thanked-not-punished</ref> |
