Crescent Foundation Leadership Scholarship
Western Sydney University
The Crescent Foundation Leadership Scholarships were established to assist refugees and provide life-changing educational opportunities. Each year, thousands of refugees arrive in Australia seeking a better life. One the many challenges faced is the affordability of university education. Whether starting a new journey through university education or the need to up-skill an existing degree obtained overseas; the Crescent Foundation aims to assist in facilitating the transition into the workforce and indeed Australian society. The Academy engages with high-achieving students to maximise their potential through programs that support and encourage academic enrichment, leadership and professional development, and community citizenship both locally and globally.
Eligibility
