Scholarship Application Information

Western Sydney University coursework scholarships have recently moved to a ‘one application’ approach. The reason for this change is outlined below:

Simplified process: it simplifies the scholarship application process for you. There is no need to consider which scholarship you may be eligible for. We assess what you may be eligible for.
Timesaving: it allows you to be considered for multiple scholarships with just one application, saving you time and effort.
Access to more scholarships: you have access to more scholarships than you would if you had applied for each scholarship separately.
Increased chances of success: by being considered for all scholarships available, you increase your chances of success.
Consistency: it ensures that all scholarship applications are assessed using the same criteria and process. This can ensure fairness and consistency in the scholarship selection process.

• It is strongly recommended that you review your answers before submitting your application as you will not be able to make any changes once submitted.
• Read the Supporting Documentation page to find out what and how to submit your supporting documentation.
• Get your applications in by the due date - we will not accept late applications.
• Refer to the Scholarships page which includes important dates.
• New scholarships come up all the time, so it is worth keeping up to date with the scholarships that you are eligible for. Keep an eye on our website for further opportunities throughout the year.
• Don't forget that you also have to apply for admission to the University. Obtaining and accepting a scholarship does not guarantee you an offer to a course. Information on how to apply to a course can be accessed from the Future Students site.

Each scholarship has specific selection criteria, and the applicant who best meets these criteria, as well as the approval of the relevant donor or selection panel, will be offered the scholarship. In some cases, this may involve an interview with the donor or panel.

Applicants for UAC Equity Scholarships will be assessed based on demonstrated highest needs and other factors indicating disadvantage.

Due to the complexity of the assessment process, all applications remain active until the process is fully completed. Successful applicants will receive a scholarship offer via email, while unsuccessful applicants will be notified once shortlisting is finalised. Please note that this process may take several months.

Applications submitted before the Session 2 deadline will be considered for both the Session 2 and the following year’s Session 1 scholarship rounds.

To check if a scholarship has been awarded, please refer to the Availability status in the scholarship table on the corresponding scholarship category page.
