Transformer Scholarship

Overview

The Transformer is a co-curricular program that enable students to innovatively tackle real-world problems that matter. It attracts motivated, self-directed individuals who want to work in collaborative, interdisciplinary teams on challenging projects that typically span multiple semesters. The nature and scope of these projects are limited only by the passions and interests of the participants. Although highly motived and self-directed, Transformer participants are supported throughout the program by dedicated Bond academics and staff, industry experts, mentors, state-of-the-art facilities and other essential resources.

The Transformer Scholarship is awarded to those with high potential to affect real change through participation in the Transformer program.

As a Transformer Scholar, you will be awarded up to 50% tuition remission for any undergraduate degree including approved combined programs up to 320 credit points (excluding the Bond Medical Program), or postgraduate degree (excluding research degrees) and will commence your study in the following January semester.

As a Transformer Scholar you will also actively participate in and complete the Transformer program during your studies at Bond.
