Transforming Futures Scholarship - Future Students
2025 Transforming Futures Scholarship - Future Students
Community/Equity
Transforming Futures Scholarships are made possible through generous gifts from UOW alumni, staff and donors. These $3000 scholarships per year over duration of 3 years recognise the capacity in all students and seek to provide support to ensure students can participate in, and make the most of their higher education.
Transforming Futures Scholarships are awarded to students who have demonstrated need such as financial or social challenges. There are a range of criteria that are looked at in determining this need such as low income, family background, living in a rural or isolated region, having a permanent disability, being a recent migrant from a non-English speaking country, and Indigenous Australians.
