Inspiring Minds Scholarships Fund
Our new ‘Inspiring Minds’ Scholarship program aims to attract the brightest students to ECU and enable those who
face financial difficulties to complete their degrees and fulfil their potential. These are people with passion and
potential, who emerge with the right balance of practical, industry ready knowledge with academic excellence.
However students today face a difficult financial environment. Hundreds of students apply every year for assistance
with unanticipated hardship. Many bright students are prevented from applying in the first instance because of financial
circumstances. At ECU, we want to make available the best possible learning experience to all, to increase the number
of scholarships we are able to offer students, whether they be undergraduates, or graduates.
To do this we have created two special funds within the Inspiring Minds Scholarship program to grow the support we
can offer our students. With your support, our scholarships can recognise those students displaying outstanding
academic excellence and endeavour, as well whose journey of learning has so far not been an easy one.
Inspiring Minds Scholarships Fund – Research Excellence
We want to attract not only the brightest students to ECU but to focus on projects which offer most benefit to WA.
ECU’s graduate research students, whether they are studying for a Masters or PhD, are the thought leaders of the
future. They are applying knowledge, solving problems, and engaging with strategic issues of importance to ECU and
our communities. They inspire others to aim high in their studies.
A scholarship for a graduate research student will ease the financial burden of every day costs including rent,
accommodation, textbooks and commuting. It will also allow students to focus on their studies rather than have to
supplement their income by working or studying part time.
Inspiring Minds Scholarships Fund - Equity
ECU is proud to be continuously working on the enhancement and development of alternative entry pathways to higher
education. We are West Australia’s university of opportunity, committed to attracting and supporting the best students,
regardless of their socio-economic status, ethnic grouping, location or disability. In order that financial position
provides no barrier to those who want to study, we want to offer more scholarships to allow students the opportunity to
study.
These scholarships can allow students to enhance their studies by buying textbooks to do further reading, or travelling
overseas to apply their learning in another culture, or simply ease the day to day financial burden of being a student.
Your gift to the Inspiring Minds Scholarships Fund, whether for Research Excellence, or Equity, will join others
to make a difference in the lives of our students and help them to realise their ambitions. Donations of all
sizes are vital, as even the smallest donation can be joined with others to create full scholarships.
