Scholarships

ECU offers a broad range of scholarships to all students. These scholarships are designed to both recognise those whose life journey may have been challenging as well as rewarding students who have shown outstanding academic excellence and endeavour.

Scholarships can help students to realise their dreams by helping to pay for fees, textbooks, living expenses and other items.
For more information about Scholarships at ECU please visit the Scholarships Website.

In addition to these university-wide scholarships, ECU’s School of Education is pleased to offer:

Dr Susan Holland Scholarship

Dr Susan Holland (nee Beryl Forte, 1948-2009) advocated life-long learning and based her career on the belief that education is a right for all Australians, regardless of age, gender or cultural background. After working many years in new South Wales, Dr Holland returned to her hometown of Perth and served as Executive Dean, Faculty of Community Services, Education and Social Sciences, as well as Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Cross sectoral Alliances & Access) at Edith Cowan University (ECU) from 1999-2002. Dr Holland established this scholarship to enable a School of Education doctoral student to make substantial research progress. The scholarship is offered on the basis of academic merit, teaching experience and a commitment to undertake research directed to enhancing the quality of teaching. It is ECU’s privilege to offer these transformational scholarships that, like the recipients, have the power to change the future of education in Western Australia.

Future Teachers Fund

The Future Teachers Scholarship Fund is designed to provide direct financial support to students of Education during their final year professional experience placement.
