Murdoch University 50-Year Scholarship
Murdoch University was founded on an ethos of providing pathways into higher education for people who had previously been excluded. We are immensely proud of this tradition, and as we approach our 50th anniversary celebrations, this ethos is as strong as ever.
We are launching fifty scholarships in celebration of our 50 years to support future students who live in a regional or remote area of Western Australia.
For Year 12 students wishing to study any undergraduate degree at Murdoch University, we are offering one scholarship to join Murdoch University in 2024. $5,000 will be offered to one student designed to offset costs in the first year of study. Further scholarships will be offered from 2025.
We strongly encourage Aboriginal and/or Torres Straight Islander students to apply also.
