The Westpac Young Technologists Scholarship is a gamechanger for any high school graduate who is passionate about tech and eager to explore its potential for good.
First up, you’ll receive $5,000 per year over three years - $15,000 in total. Everyone has different financial situations and pressures, so the funding is 100% flexible. This means you can choose how you spend it.
The real value of this scholarship, however, comes through opportunities and experiences that may otherwise be out of reach.
All Young Technologists Scholarship recipients will take part in the Disruptive Leaders Program – a five-day intensive program in Asia (pending COVID travel restrictions) designed to develop your leadership capabilities, cultural intelligence and international connections.
You will also become a lifelong member of the Westpac 100 Scholars Network (W100). Growing by 100 inspiring Aussies each year, the W100 is a unique network of support and opportunity. You’ll have access to internships, inspiring mentors, leadership development and networking opportunities.
