Another 37 Asian Exchange Scholarships will provide students with immersive experiences in Asia’s top innovation hubs, strengthening cross-cultural intelligence and networks.
“This year’s undergraduates are exceptionally talented and have bright futures ahead, driving innovation in technology and AI, advancing healthcare, and shaping the future of aerospace,” said Amy Lyden, CEO of Westpac Scholars Trust.
“By investing in them, we’re supporting ideas that will have a lasting impact on Australia’s future.”
More than financial support, both scholarships offer bespoke leadership programs, including an immersive residential experience in Singapore.
“The leadership programs and global networks available to our scholars will help them accelerate their impact and contribute to shaping a stronger, more innovative future for Australia,” said Lyden.
With this latest announcement, Westpac Scholars Trust along with its university partners, has now finalised its 2025 scholar cohort, awarding over $5 million to 100 bright minds.

The Westpac Young Technologists Scholarships are designed for students looking to strengthen their passion and expertise in technology to innovate and create new opportunities and inspire good in the world of STEM, and ultimately, who want to turn that passion into a rewarding career.
Westpac Asian Exchange Scholarships immerse recipients in everything in the region – ultimately forging long lasting and meaningful relationships between the next generation of young Australian and Asian leaders.
