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. In 2021, we have 60 Scholars and 106 Alumni who are studying, working and making a contribution in WA and around the world. The UWA Fogarty Foundation Leadership and Enterprise Program The Fogarty Foundation and The University of Western Australia view leadership as an integral factor in building strong communities. UWA Fogarty Scholars participate in a tailored Leadership and Enterprise Program that provides Scholars and Alumni with an excellent opportunity to learn from today’s leaders. The Leadership and Enterprise Program expands Scholars’ horizons by initiating opportunities for the Scholars to learn from, and have access to, a network of leaders, gain insight into how our community works and how they can make a positive contribution now and in the future. From 2020, the Leadership and Enterprise Program includes a focus on enterprise, bringing Scholars a range of opportunities to challenge their thinking and to develop leadership, entrepreneurial and life skills. The UWA Fogarty Scholars study across a range of disciplines and as they graduate they become members of the UWA Fogarty Scholars’ Alumni. The Alumni network of talented and motivated young people working in a variety of professions, provides ongoing support as they evolve in their individual roles within the community.
