The Order of Australia Association Foundation WAAPA Scholarship

The Order of Australia Association Foundation Scholarships have been established to recognise, celebrate and encourage outstanding young Australian citizens to realise their potential to be leaders in tomorrow’s community. The purpose of the Scholarship is to assist a student enrolled in their second year of a Bachelor's course at WAAPA who might otherwise have financial difficulty in proceeding with their studies and thus not achieve their potential for the future benefit of Australia. The Scholarship is valued at $40,000 (paid to the recipient as two payments of $20,000 in Semester 2, 2023 and 2024) and will also offer the opportunity of an ongoing mentor relationship with a member of The Order of Australia who is eminent in the awardee’s chosen field of study.
