Each year 10 new UWA Fogarty Scholarships are awarded to WA’s brightest and most engaged high school graduates. Scholarships are awarded on 3 criteria:
- Academic achievement to date
- Demonstrated excellence in at least three areas of arts, community service, leadership, sports and enterprise
- Demonstration of the competencies of a UWA Fogarty Scholar – Vision, Resilience, Integrity, Self-reflection and adaptability, Emotional intelligence, Breadth and depth of knowledge and initiative.
To be eligible to apply, students must reasonably expect to achieve an ATAR of 98 and students attending Tier A Broadway UWA identified schools must reasonably expect to achieve an ATAR of 95.
Being a Fogarty Scholar fundamentally changed my experience at uni and I have no doubt it has changed my whole life.
