The Victorian Institute of Sport is pleased to announce that in association with our partners Open Universities Australia the following athletes are recipients of Open Universities Australia Scholarships for 2018.

Each scholarship winner will be awarded 1 unit of study at OUA free of charge commencing in Study Period 2, 2018. The undergraduate Unit Fees generally range from $800 - $1,500 and Post Graduate Unit fees may range from $3,000 - $8,000.
OUA is Australia's leading provider of online higher education, providing access to over 2500 units and 160 courses from leading universities and other higher education providers around the country. The top three of the athletes are current/continuing OUA students who won the Scholarship last year as well so a great reward for them! All of these athletes spend considerable time travelling overseas with their sport so the online distance education mode is perfect.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our athletes to continue with their dual careers and OUA will gain the benefits of having these athletes as Ambassadors as they lead into the upcoming major events.
