The Australian Wool Education Trust (AWET) is pleased to announce the funding available to universities for their students who wish to undertake sheep and wool courses offered by the University of New England (UNE) has been reviewed.
Since 2006, AWET has offered subsidies to non-UNE students for wool modules delivered by the UNE. From 2016, the subsidy has been $1,000/student/unit for the first 10 students rising to $1,500/student/unit per institute once student enrolments exceeded 10.
The AWET Trustees agreed that from the 2026 Academic Year, the subsidy will increase to $2,000/student/unit.
Please make your colleagues and students aware of this subsidy, so it can be taken into account when students consider their course options (see https://www.woolwise.com/home/scholarships-and-grants/).
