Established in 2004, the UWA Forgarty Scholarship Program is one of Australia’s premier scholarship programs. The scholarship is a joint initiative between the Fogarty Foundation and The University of Western Australia, to award WA’s brightest and most committed students’ scholarships for the entirety of their university degree. The program connects scholars with local and international leaders, to provide Scholars and Alumni leadership opportunities, supported through comprehensive academic scholarships, academic mentoring, career and personal enrichment engagements and paramount to the program is a strong network of likeminded young leaders. 10 new scholarships are awarded each year to students who study across a range of disciplines. UWA Fogarty Undergraduate Scholars who choose to continue their postgraduate study at UWA are also supported in their further studies. The scholarships inclulde a tailored leadership program for the Scholar’s entire university degree that focuses on developing transformative leadership skills in each of the Scholars. The leadership program is a key element of the scholarships, where Scholars learn from, and have access to, a network of leaders, gain some insight into how our community works and hopefully the awareness of how they can make a contribution now and in the future.
