Rooty Hills RSL Club Ltd

Over forty years ago Rooty Hill RSL Club started operating as a fully licensed club in modest premises located in Rooty Hill Road North. This small social club of the early 1960s is now the largest RSL Club in Australia and a club that ranks in the top 10 of all registered clubs of any format. From a club that was constructed on two suburban building blocks, the RSL Club & Resort now covers an area of about nine hectares (20 acres).

Rooty Hill RSL Club supports the local community. Rooty Hill RSL Club's support for UWS is provided through the CLUB GRANTS scheme; a shared State Government-Club Industry program, funded by a 2.25% gaming machine rebate provided by the State Government to those registered clubs with gaming machine profits in excess of $1million per annum.

Application 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.
