Aboriginal environmental health scholarships

About the scholarship

Study a bachelor degree in environmental health at your pace and have your university subject fees paid.

The scholarship is worth up to $30,000 for a full degree, potentially leaving you with no HECS-HELP debt.

Aboriginal environmental health scholarships are awarded each year for:

• subject fees (successfully completed), reimbursed at the end of semester; and
• $500 a year for student administration fees and tutoring costs (paid in two instalments of $250).

Scholarship recipients:

• can study full or part time
• will need to provide university result notices at the end of each semester
• will need to apply for scholarship funding each year, but continuing recipients have priority for ongoing scholarship funds (conditional on enrolment confirmation and results).

Environmental Health Officers are in-demand with many job opportunities all over NSW and Australia.

Eligibility

An applicant must be:

• an Aboriginal person
• a NSW resident (or live within 5km of the NSW border)
• currently enrolled, or intending to enrol, in the Western Sydney University Bachelor of Science (Environmental Health), or equivalent degree at an interstate university
• able to demonstrate an interest in environmental health.
