Vice-Chancellor's Leadership Scholarship – South Western Sydney

Supporting the next generation of leaders from South Western Sydney.

UOW established our Liverpool campus in 2017 to extend the educational offerings available to students within this region, allowing you to get a world-class education on your doorstep.

Since then, we have developed a close connection with the community with whom we share the vision of a bright future for the South Western Sydney region.  

With the Vice-Chancellor's Leadership Scholarship, we seek to inspire a new generation of local passionate leaders and give them the knowledge, skills, and world views to be the future leaders of the South Western Sydney region. 

The scholarship will provide generous financial assistance, an opportunity to network with peers and be provided with existing engagement opportunities across campus. Vice-Chancellor's Leadership Scholars will be selected based on their academic achievement and leadership potential as evidenced in their application.
