Fairway UWA

Fairway UWA is a program that provides students completing Year 12 under challenging circumstances with an admission pathway to UWA.

Fairway UWA is an admission entry pathway and comprehensive support program for students completing Year 12 under challenging circumstances. The program provides academic, financial and personal support, and it is responsive to individual student needs, throughout their final year of secondary school and during their university studies.

How it works

Successful completion of the Fairway UWA program provides an admission entry into any three-year UWA undergraduate course requiring an ATAR of 80 or less.

Fairway focuses on developing academic skills and preparing students for university studies. The program offers:

  • English and maths master classes and workshops on study skills and exam preparation
  • access to WACE revision and online tutoring
  • opportunities to make new friends and meet inspiring student mentors
  • information about the courses you could study at UWA
  • support in transition to UWA and throughout the duration of your studies at UWA
  • an engaging program of activities that provide insight into the UWA experience
  • guidance in applications and study options
  • ongoing mentoring by senior students and Fairway alumni

Fairway is what got me through uni so far, so it means everything. I came into UWA as one of only two from my high school cohort, and Fairway made the transition much easier than expected.”Fairway university student

Eligibility

This program is open to all students from any school in the State who can demonstrate financial hardship. It is available to Australian citizens, permanent residents of Australia, New Zealand citizens or holders of an Australian humanitarian visa.

Please note: If you were born before 2002, UWA’s MAP (Mature-age Access Program) may be a more suitable pathway for you.

Fairway is my family and I am very proud and very grateful to be a part of such an amazing and supportive group of people. I couldn’t ask for more!”Fairway university student
