Pridmore Scholarships for Women in STEM 2026

The Pridmore Scholarships comprise three scholarships offered to female first year enrolled students in either Vocational Education and Training (VET) or Higher Education studying STEM. Generously funded from the estate of Fannie Pridmore, these scholarships are valued at $7,500 per annum for the duration of the course, up to three years. The scholarship provides financial support to women commencing their studies in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics fields at Swinburne University of Technology. Applicants must be Australian citizens or permanent residents who are enrolling full-time on-campus as first-year students in Semester 1, 2026. Selection is based on a personal statement addressing interest in the chosen field, career aspirations, and how the scholarship would make a difference in the applicant's life.
