The John Curtin Scholarship Program is now open for applications.

If you are one of the top students at you school and you want to go to Curtin in 2025, ask you principal to nominate you for the Curtin Scholarship Program,

High school principals are invited to nominate students in the top 5% of the school’s graduating year who can demonstrate academic excellence, leadership qualities and engagement in community service.

The nomination form and the reference letter are to be completed and endorsed by the high school principal. These documents need to be attached to the student’s application and submitted online by the student.

If you have any questions about the nomination process, please contact the Scholarships Office at scholarships@curtin.edu.au.

Don’t cross your fingers hoping you will be noticed!

Talk with teachers if you are eligible

Teachers are busy and they often see the brightest, shiniest or most recent events when they are thinking of recommending someone for a scholarship.

If you have made a positive contribution to ONE of these three categories, why not ask your school to remember your efforts when they are nominating someone for Murdoch University’s $12,000 Ngala Kwop Biddi Brighter Futures Scholarship:

Sustainability
First Nations OR
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

This is one of those scholarships that does not require you to be an academic superhero.
