2026 - Semester 1 - Allison Taylor Single Mum Scholarship (Future Students)

The Allison Taylor Single Mum Scholarship has been developed to support and encourage single mothers as they pursue their higher education, helping them achieve long-term economic security for themselves and their children. This Scholarship was established in memory of Allison Taylor, a devoted mother, loving grandmother, admired friend, and passionate advocate for women. While raising her daughter as a single mum and working full-time, Allison persisted with her own education. In 2004, Allison was diagnosed with breast cancer, a battle that she would fiercely fight until her passing on the 18 March 2022. In the weeks leading up to her passing, Allison shared her one last wish with her daughter; to create a scholarship at Curtin University – one that would inspire the wider community to rally behind single mums. This Scholarship round is proudly supported by the Wen Giving Foundation, whose generosity helps make this opportunity possible. The scholarship provides financial support for up to 4 years based on full-time study load, along with access to financial literacy workshops, individualized support through the Curtin Tax Clinic, and online resources for relevant university support services.
