The school is offering $110K worth of scholarship funding to 10 undergraduate students to help with the cost of their studies!
There are two types of scholarships on offer:
- The Curtin Business School Innovation Scholarship is offering six students $15,000 each over the duration of their degree
- The Information Systems Scholarship Program is offering four students $5,000 each payable over a three year degree.
The scholarships have been developed to assist and encourage talented and aspiring information systems students to get off on the right foot by offering financial assistance. This money can go towards a HECS debt, books or materials; basically anything associated with the cost of study.
Providing students have been accepted into Curtin University AND have enrolled in an IS major, those eligible to apply are:
- High school leavers
- TAFE students
- International students
What course do I need to enroll in to get the scholarship?
You must enroll in an Information Systems major and study full or part-time to be eligible for the full scholarship. Students must also stay enrolled in this unit for the full three years of the degree to get the full funding.
Information Systems majors include:
• Business Information Systems

• Logistics Management
• Strategic Procurement
How will the scholarship be paid?
Once the scholarship students have been chosen, the money will be paid to students over the duration of their degree.
What happens if I change my major?
If successful scholarship students change their major then the scholarship funding will be cancelled. The students will get no further payments.

What do students have to say about an Information Systems Scholarship?
“In being such a privileged student as to receiving the Curtin Business School’s Innovation Scholarship I have achieved something I would never thought I could have previously.
It has most importantly given me the financial support to relieve the burden of fees and allowed me to feel a sense of self worth.
You don’t have to be a genius to receive a scholarship like mine; you will however need to be curious and innovative.”
Brendan Daniels scholarship recipient

This scholarship has freed up my finances to allow me to focus more on what will help me achieve the best result possible and, most importantly, gain the most from my university experience."
