MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS: BUSINESS
Are you a high-achieving student looking for a
degree that satisfies your ambition?
The Faculty of Business aims to be the best environment
in Australia to research, teach and learn about business.
The Faculty is committed to inspiring social innovation
through its research and teaching programs.
The Faculty is offering scholarships to high-achieving
international students who commence a Bachelor of
Commerce, Bachelor of Commerce (Dean’s Scholar) or
Bachelor of Economics and Finance at the Wollongong
Campus of UOW; or a Bachelor of Accounting and
Financial Services or Bachelor of Banking and Financial
Services at the UOW Sydney Campus.
The scholarships are open to all international students.
CRICOS Provider no.: 00102E
The scholarships provide the following:
• An additional 25% top-up of tuition fees to
students who have been awarded a Wollongong
Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship, bringing the
total scholarship to 50% off the standard fee.
• In addition, if you enrol in the Bachelor of Commerce
(Dean’s Scholar), you will receive a $500 textbook
allowance, academic mentoring, special seminars/
workshops, opportunities for work experience in
industry and within the Faculty of Business, use
of a special Dean’s Scholars study facility, and
leadership development opportunities.
Studying at the University of Wollongong has been a
wonderful experience, in terms of both the beautiful
environment and the advanced academic quality of
UOW’s research and teaching. My accounting studies
have allowed me to become highly familiar with each
international accounting standard and have given me the
ability to apply those standards to real work environments.
Studying at UOW has helped me to learn to the best of
my ability and has given me the opportunity to update my
knowledge, so that I can bring that knowledge back to assist
developing countries such as my homeland, China.
