University Scholarship

Each year Council offers one scholarship to a student commencing university studies at the University of Western Sydney.

The scholarship is for any full-time University of Western Sydney undergraduate degree and is paid annually for three to five years (depending on course length) subject to satisfying university criteria for continuation each semester.

Applicants must be:

• under 25 at the commencement of their course
• first-time university students
• Australian citizens
• residents of Holroyd for at least twelve months prior to applying

Factors such as UAI score, educational disadvantage, potential benefit to applicant and potential benefit to community will be considered in awarding the scholarship.

The successful applicant will be required to provide a brief report to Council, through the Scholarship Working Party, at the end of each semester and a personal report to Council at the end of their course.

Applications are usually invited during December and January each year with an information sheet and scholarship poster being placed on this website at that time.

Further information can be obtained from Councils Department of Library and Community Services on 9840 9908.
