Areas of Greatest Need 

By giving towards the greatest need, the UWS Foundation can meet the changing needs of the University by allocating funds where and when they are needed most.

Through sustained partnerships between the University, the community and the world of business, the UWS Foundation aims to support educational and regional development by raising funds for important projects such as scholarships, prizes, research, teaching positions, academic programs and teaching facilities.

Give now to areas of greatest need.

Scholarships

With the support of donors, scholarships allow students with the most potential access to quality tertiary education, regardless of their circumstances. They also encourage the most talented students to make UWS their university of choice.

The rewards of a scholarship go far beyond a student’s time at university. As graduates embark on their professional career, they will contribute to the advancement of our society and industries, now and in the future.

Prizes

Prizes acknowledge our most-dedicated and high-achieving students. By contributing, you are helping us encourage and inspire them to continue striving for excellence.

As a supporter, you will be recognised for your gift. Each prize recipient receives information about the prize and the donor as well as a notification on their academic transcript.

Research

UWS must consistently attract, and invest in, leading researchers. The University’s innovative research programs are now positively impacting industry, government and community development on a regional, national and global scale. UWS researchers can continue ground-breaking research with thanks to the generosity of friends, alumni and business partners.

Academic Positions

UWS welcomes involvement in contributing to a number of teaching and learning programs at UWS.

• A Professorial Chair is an investment in excellence. It is one of the most effective mechanisms for stimulating advancements in scholarship and research, for the long-term benefit of the community.
  
  
• Reserach Fellowships provide the opportunity for early career researchers to further develop and refine their research skills and experience. A fellowship will generally be linked to a particular research project in line with the specialist skills of the fellow and the priorities of the institution and partners.
  
  
• Lectureships ensure our students and future researchers are able to access high quality academics to help develop their full potential. Lectureships also provide opportunities for our academics to advance their skills and expertise and contribute significantly to their discipline through both teaching and research.

Arts and Culture

The UWS Art Collection consists of a diverse range of artworks in a variety of media, including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, photographs and works on paper by 20th-century Australian artists, primarily from the 1960s to the present.

The collection also consists of works by local artists from the Hawkesbury, Macarthur and Nepean regions, as well as works by former and current staff and students of UWS.
