Unfortunately no, this particular scholarship is for mature-age Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women only.
18 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have been awarded the Moorditj Yorga Scholarship, with 15 yorga’s currently receiving support. We hope to see this number increase in the coming years so we can continue to support more Moorditj women, their families, and communities across WA.
Yes, women who receive this scholarship can be completing any undergraduate degree of their choosing and allowing each yorga to carve out their future in industries they are passionate about. Women who are completing a bridging pathway or alternative entry course are also eligible for this scholarship.
Both future and current students are eligible to apply for the Moorditj Yorga Scholarship, meaning you could be partway through your studies at Curtin or commencing your studies. Those who have already started their degree program will be supported for the remainder of their studies.
