Did you know there are a number of financial supports that regional school leavers can access to support you in moving to Perth to pursue your studies at UWA.
When living on campus, these financial supports can go a long way in contributing to your rent, giving you more money to spend on other aspects of independent living.
The Australian Government has introduced a Tertiary Access Payment to assist outer regional and remote students to access tertiary study immediately following school (Year 12).
You could be eligible if you are:
UWA offers a number of scholarships for students studying at UWA for the first time. Many even include specific funding for accommodation when you’re living on campus.
A common example of a UWA scholarship is the UWA Hackett Scholarship: $4,500
The UWA Hackett Scholarship is provided by The University of Western Australia ('the University') to assist and encourage eligible Year 12 WACE school leavers with great potential, to commence and pursue a bachelor's degree at the University.
Eligible students will automatically be awarded this scholarship, and students from regional or remote WA will be guaranteed a place at University Hall.
View for more info about the UWA Hackett Scholarship.
See what you’re eligible for on the UWA Scholarships portal.
Check out our 2023 Fee Schedule.
In many cases you can use financial assistance to contribute to your rent costs at UniHall. Some accommodation support funds in UWA scholarships are even paid directly into your UniHall rent, so it’s easy and quick for students!
