Recognising the higher cost of living and diverse needs, the UWA Connect Scholarship offers flexible, tailored assistance, including early funding for the essentials you need most, whether that’s accommodation, relocation, childcare, or a new laptop.

UWA offers hundreds of scholarships, and with the Connect Scholarship, applying for multiple scholarships is simple. When you apply, you’ll be automatically considered for all eligible scholarships without needing to reapply for each one, saving you both time and effort.

• Financial support: Receive $5,000 annually to contribute towards the cost of studying. (Up to six semesters for Undergraduate studies and two additional semesters for Honours or Combined Courses if applicable)
• Start-up assistance: Get up to $1,500 in the first year to cover initial costs like relocation, setting you up for success from day one.
• Global Learning Grant: Get a $500 supplementary grant in addition to the standard grant if you undertake a study abroad program. Offered by the Global Learning Office.
• Accommodation support: A select number of regional and remote students will have priority access to University Hall or UWA accommodation partners such as St Catherine's College, St Thomas More College, St George’s College and Trinity Residential College. (Students apply separately through the UWA Accommodation portal. See each college's websites for their fees, scholarships, and important dates.)
• Wrap-around support: Enjoy comprehensive assistance to ensure you feel connected and supported throughout your university journey, from settling in, to becoming part of UWA's welcoming community.

The UWA Connect Scholarship is more than just financial aid, it's about connecting you to a supportive community that helps you succeed.
