About this opportunity
The Westpac Young Technologists Scholarship is designed specifically for high school graduates who are passionate about technology and eager to explore its potential for good. The scholarship provides $5,000 per year over three years to support students commencing technology-related degrees at RMIT University. Beyond financial support, recipients receive access to a personalized enrichment program including paid internships, inspiring mentors, and an international learning experience in Asia through the 5-day Disruptive Leaders Program in Singapore. Recipients also become lifelong members of the Westpac 100 Scholars Network, connecting them with some of the brightest young minds in Australia. The scholarship aims to strengthen Australia's pool of local talent and build a cohort of technology-literate future leaders, with a particular focus on addressing gender balance and diversity in technology graduates.
