The Australian Wool Education Trust (AWET) regularly reviews the allocation of its financial resources that help facilitate the sheep and/or wool education of students whose interests range from farm to fabric. Following meetings with  Australian Wool Academics and Fashions Schools in July 2026, the Trustees agreed that various Scholarships and Grants will be open to students studying wool and/or wool sheep OR wool fashion/textile/product design OR wool processing. 

The Scholarships and Grants include:

  • Undergraduate and Masters by Coursework Project Scholarships
  • Wool Industry Placement Grants
  • Small Initiative Grants

And for sheep and/or wool sheep Agriculture, Animal Science or Veterinary Science students:

  • Tony Street Memorial Scholarship

Eligibility across the industry sectors may result in a higher number of applications, meaning the competition for each Scholarship or Grant will increase.  To this end, all applicants (students and/or Institutes) should ensure that their application clearly focuses on the benefits to the wool industry.

For further information, go to Scholarships and GrantsApplications close on Friday 30th October 2026.  Late applications will NOT be accepted.
