2026 - Semester 1 - Moorditj Yorga Scholarship Program (Current Students)

The Moorditj Yorga Scholarship Program supports mature-aged Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to enter and succeed at Curtin University. 'Moorditj Yorga' means 'strong woman' in Nyungar language. The Scholarship recognises and celebrates the contributions of First Nations women to their families and communities, and acknowledges that applicants bring their own diverse life experience and knowledge. The Scholarship provides Moorditj women with individualised mentoring as they transition into their careers, building upon their personal and cultural strengths to enable them to become strong leaders and role models within their families and communities. Recipients receive support from a dedicated Moorditj Yorga Coordinator throughout their time at Curtin University, helping them succeed in their educational journey and future careers.
