New John Heine Women in Engineering Equity Scholarship
The John Heine Women in Engineering Equity Scholarship has been generously established by the John Heine Memorial Foundation with the goal of increasing the participation of women in Engineering as a non-traditional area of study. This Scholarship aims to support applicants who have experienced financial hardship; other types of educational disadvantage may also be considered. The scholarship is open to female applicants for a UTS undergraduate Engineering course (for both current and non-current school leavers). One scholarship is available in 2010.

$85,000 will be provided over 5 years to cover HECS fees and some living costs.
