Naarm Scholarship Program
We aim to widen participation at the University of Melbourne so that, consistently, one in three of our domestic undergraduate students come from under-represented backgrounds. It is the biggest commitment we have ever made to levelling the playing field for bright and motivated students to enrol and succeed at the University of Melbourne.
With community support, the Narrm Scholarship Program removes barriers to access, enabling talented students to realise their potential. The Program focuses predominantly on students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds – particularly those who live in regional, remote, and outer metropolitan areas – and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
