Awards and Grants

UWS has established and supports a number of award and grant initiatives to reward, recognise and encourage staff who demonstrate excellence and innovation in their teaching and programs. The University continues to develop these initiatives and encourage and celebrate excellence at individual, team and program levels.

The provision of dedicated support for the development of Awards and Citations, Grants and Fellowship applications administered by the Office for Learning and Teaching further strengthens professional development opportunities at UWS for both professional and academic staff. In 2012, the Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education) initiated The UWS Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning. These external and internal award schemes aim to promote best practice and innovation in teaching and learning to enrich the student experience.
