About the Scholarship
UWA Bizcover Women in IT Scholarship
The BizCover Women in IT Scholarship 2024-2025 aims to address the gender gap in the IT industry by supporting and empowering female students pursuing degrees in information technology and related fields. Despite the growing need for IT professionals, only 28% of Australia's IT workforce is female, and just 1 in 4 IT graduates are women.
This scholarship celebrates the achievements of female university students and encourages them to excel in IT careers. Applicants must demonstrate their passion for the field by submitting a detailed essay about an IT-related project they’ve worked on or intend to pursue after graduation.
