2026 - Semester 1 - Curtin Excellence Scholarship (Future Students)

The Curtin Excellence Scholarship has been developed to encourage and reward students who have demonstrated academic excellence through their ATAR in 2025 and want to pursue study at Curtin University. The scholarship provides financial support for high-achieving year 12 students entering undergraduate degrees at Curtin University. Students with an ATAR between 96-97.99 receive a one-year scholarship worth $5,000, while students with an ATAR of 98 or above receive a three-year scholarship worth $15,000. The cash stipend can be used at the recipient's discretion to contribute towards educational related expenses. No application form is required; students automatically apply by selecting an eligible Curtin degree through TISC as their first preference by the scholarship closing date. The scholarship is available to Australian citizens, permanent residents, permanent humanitarian visa holders, and New Zealand citizens who are 2025 high school leavers undertaking year 12 WACE and enrolling full-time at Curtin University in Semester 1, 2026.
