23.01.2022 This program is the best help UOW could provide to international students seeking support and guidance. My mentor is extremely helpful and possibly a great friend I could have ever imagined. I have asked her almost all the possible questions from best places around the city, how to get a job, how to figure out referencing structures, weekend getaways, better housing options etc. Her guidance made a significant difference. Even during these times, she has been checking up on ...me on a regular basis, this makes me feel good. - Heli (Mentee). Hear about how our Business International Peer Mentoring volunteers are making a huge difference in helping new international students feel at ease during these difficult times If youre interested in becoming a mentor or a mentee in our Business International Peer Mentoring program, visit: https://bit.ly/BusinessIPMN. Volunteers who complete 20 hours of volunteer work through a registered program receive UOWx recognition, giving their resume a boost.

22.01.2022 COVID-19 Financial Assistance Grant Scheme In this time of significant change, we have experienced an unprecedented call for support from our students. That is... why we have established the COVID-19 Financial Assistance Grant Scheme for students most impacted by COVID-19. Providing access to emergency funding will ease some of the financial burdens for students who due to self-isolation or lost employment are experiencing a significant loss of income. Things to know: Grants are available for impacted domestic and international students enrolled at any of UOWs Australian based campuses, including UOW College Australia. Students seeking financial assistance can apply online from 8 April. Students will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, with decisions and grants being allocated as quickly as possible.
