Are you passionate about the environment and enrolling at UOW in 2023? The Holt Estate 1861 would like to provide financial support to a student studying an environmentally focused science degree.
The Holt Estate 1861 is a family company with a proud history in the Sutherland Shire going back more than 160 years and are strong believers in supporting the local community in which they operate. As part of these contributions they would like to support a student facing challenges that might otherwise prevent them from achieving their environmental science goals.

However all eligible students will be considered and are welcome to apply.
If this sounds like you, then we’d love to see you submit your application for a Holt Estate Environmental Scholarship.
