Community/Equity

 

The De Dominicis Foundation Opportunity Scholarship for STEM Students was established in 2021, by Robert De Dominicis. The purpose of this scholarship is to support commencing students at the University of Wollongong who are passionate about Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and experiencing financial difficulty.

This scholarship provides $15,000 per year, over 3 years - a total of $45,000 - to eligible students who are committed to maintaining a credit average in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) related undergraduate course.

Applicants must have an ATAR (or equivalent) of 80 or above, be able to demonstrate financial need via a UAC Equity Scholarship online application. Applicants will be asked to submit a written statement that addresses three key areas:

- Your journey through past challenges and the achievements that followed
- How this scholarship will empower you to create meaningful change in your community
- The ways this support will advance your career goals in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics

Selection will be based on application to UOW Scholarships and UAC Equity. Applicants will only be considered if they have submitted both applications.
