Walu Scholarship
About the Walu Scholarship
Sponsored by Winangay Resources Inc.
The purpose of the Walu Scholarship is to support young people aged between 17-21 to continue their education pathway of higher learning.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, one in nine (11.5%) of people aged 18-24 years were attending university or other higher education institutions at the time of the 2021 Census, up for 8.3% in 2011.
We believe it is important to support young people to achieve their education goals.
