Enid Helen Hort and Family

In August 2011 Mr Harold Hort, a resident of Greater Western Sydney, made a gift of $600,000 to UWS - one of the largest donations in the University's history - to establish a range of new scholarships for UWS students.
The donation was made in the name of Mr Hort's late wife Mrs Enid Helen Hort and the Hort Family.

The Enid Helen Hort and Family Scholarships are intended to ensure that people of all walks of life have the opportunity to attend University including those who may have experienced financial hardship, or those who may not have come from a privileged background.

Applications and Selection Process

Applicants must provide a statement in support of their application indicating how they believe the receipt of the scholarship will assist them with their studies and in their future career. This statement should give a sufficient explanation of the applicant’s background and current circumstances to enable the University to judge their eligibility, need and merit.

Successful applicants will be selected based on their written application, academic potential, their ability to meet the criteria and, where appropriate, performance in an interview before a selection panel.
