Aspiring Leaders
Scholarship

WHAT IS YOUR BEST OPTION?

Award to high-achieving international students who aspire to become leaders in their respective fields.

This scholarship has been established to relieve some of the financial burden that international students are faced with, enabling them to focus on their academic and career goals more attentively.  

If successful, the student will take part in FYME’s Leadership Program, where they will join a network of high-achieving international students in Perth. The scholarship recipient will have the chance to work closely with FYME and its network to benefit from their industry links and professional development opportunities.

We consider international students from all faculties, departments and backgrounds. Academic grades are one consideration, but this may not rule out students who have made contributions in other areas.
