Scholarships for Young Technologists 

We partner with universities, Westpac, and the community to invest in the individuals with the ideas and drive to shape Australia. 

Westpac offers the Young Technologists Scholarship which is designed specifically for high school graduates who are passionate about studies in STEM and are eager to explore its potential for good.  Recipients receive $20,000 over three years to really inspire their thinking but are also assisted in developing into a strong leader through the Disruptive Leaders Program, which includes five days in Asia as part of an international learning experience (pending no travel restrictions).  Recipients of this scholarship also have access to paid internships and inspiring mentors.  Best of all, they become a lifelong member of the Westpac 100 Scholars Network: an inclusive group of some of the brightest young minds in Australia.

The Westpac Young Technologist Scholarship program is offered at the following universities: 

• Murdoch University
• Queensland University of Technology 
• RMIT 
• Western Sydney University 
• University of Wollongong 

Applications open in September 2023 and close in January 2024.  Students are urged to browse Westpac Young Technologists Scholarship to find out more.
