Each year, more than $4 million in scholarships are awarded to students, and are designed to recognise achievement and support enthusiastic and dedicated students.
Many of our scholarships have been created as a result of generous philanthropic donations to the University, from individuals and organisations who share our belief that everyone with talent and dedication deserves the chance to pursue their dreams.
