Airwallex Excellence in Technology Scholarships

The Airwallex Excellence in Technology Scholarships have been established to support exceptional students enrolled in an Undergraduate or Masters Coursework degree in the School of Computing and Information Systems.

42 financial scholarships, valued at up to $30,000 each, are offered across two years for gifted and top performing IT students in Bachelor or Masters programs.

Airwallex Founder and CEO Jack Zhang spoke at the partnership launch about his experiences as an international student and the challenges of holding down three part-time jobs while studying. He hopes these scholarships will help high achieving students financially, so they can focus on their studies.

Encouraging and supporting the next generation of computing and information technologists, these scholarships are also intended to enable recipients to focus on their University experiences.

Scholarship recipients will be matched with a mentor at Airwallex and will also be given priority consideration in the Airwallex internship program.

In July 2023, the two scholarship types were merged to create one Airwallex Excellence in Technology scholarship, awarded to eligible undergraduate or graduate FEIT students. As of November 2023, 25 of the 42 available scholarships have been awarded.
