Damien Dewildt Memorial Scholarship

The Damien Dewildt Memorial Scholarship is a foundation scholarship offered by Federation University Australia to support students from regional Victoria living on campus at the Mt Helen campus in Ballarat. The scholarship honors the memory of Damien Dewildt, who studied at the University of Ballarat (now Federation University) from 2002 and went on to have a successful career in cyber and digital forensics. The scholarship provides financial support towards FedLiving accommodation costs for students who choose to live on campus, helping them access the social, recreational, and academic benefits of campus life. This scholarship is specifically designed to support young people from regional Victoria in experiencing university education in a supportive residential environment, reflecting Damien's own positive experience as a regional student living on campus.
