About This Opportunity

The scholarship value is $15,000 AUD for a duration of one year, with the number of awards varying each year. Recipients are selected based on demonstrated financial need, academic achievements, personal qualities, leadership potential, practical aptitude, aspirations in civil engineering, and interview performance. Preference is given to applicants who are previous recipients of the scholarship who continue to face financial disadvantage.
