Established in 2004, the UWA Fogarty Foundation 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, a strong network of likeminded young leaders. Ten new scholarships are awarded each year to our State’s highest achieving students. Scholars are selected based on academic excellence and outstanding achievements in leadership, community involvement, sports, the arts and enterprising initiatives. UWA Fogarty Undergraduate Scholars who choose to continue their postgraduate study at UWA are fully supported in their further studies. A key element of the scholarships is a tailored Leadership and Enterprise Program for the Scholars’ entire university degree. This program focuses on developing transformative leadership skills in each of the Scholars and includes support for Scholars’ initiatives, and access to the Scholars’ Enterprise Investment Program.
