A life-changing opportunity
The Snow Scholarship is one of Australia’s most generous and transformative undergraduate programs, designed to support students in Canberra and regional or rural NSW commencing an undergraduate degree in 2026 who face barriers to higher education.
Scholars receive:
- up to $30,000 per year to support living costs, travel, and accommodation
- wrap-around academic, personal, and leadership growth
- a welcoming, diverse community of peers and mentors.
Snow Scholarships have been co-created by Snow Foundation and UC. Snow Foundation believes in the power of education to change lives and open doors – helping students realise their potential and grow into confident, purposeful leaders. In partnership with the University of Canberra, they’ve committed $20 million to back students who have big dreams and just need the support to get there.
With a Snow Scholarship, higher education isn’t just a hope – it’s a pathway.
Applications for the 2026 Snow Scholarship Program have now closed. Applications for the 2027 Program will open early next year. Please stay tuned.
