Hard work pays off
UOW Scholarships and Grants will help you reach your goals. We believe that excellence deserves reward
– and if you’re willing to put in the hard yards, then so are we.
Some of our scholarships are designed to reward the most academic and talented students for their
achievements. Others recognise the personal attributes and community contributions of well-rounded
students. We also offer scholarships to students with exceptional sporting ability, to allow them to study
as well as pursue their sporting goals.
Each scholarship gives you financial assistance so that you can focus more effectively on your studies.
Some will also offer the opportunity for work-integrated learning programs that include work experience
with one of our corporate sponsors.
This guide will show you UOW’s scholarship options. Applications are now open and on-time applications
will close 30 November 2017.
