WSU SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE FLEEING CONFLICT
WESTERN Sydney University is taking steps to expand humanitarian efforts to support Palestinian, Lebanese, Ukrainian and other people fleeing conflict and seeking refuge in Australia.
The University will provide financial support through additional scholarships, increasing the number of full scholarships funded through dedicated campaigns to ensure education is accessible to those who need it most.
Vice-Chancellor Professor George Williams said education has the power to transform lives.
“Through tailored pathways, financial assistance, and holistic support, we’re here to guide people towards achieving their academic and personal goals,” said Professor Williams.
“Western Sydney University provides a safe and inclusive environment where individuals can build a brighter future.”
Welfare Officers at the university will work with prospective students to develop personalised education plans and provide tailored support for unique circumstances.
From English language programs to courses that prepare students for higher education, the university provides practical tools and resources to help students transition to university life and Australian society.
The university’s support extends beyond educational needs, offering referrals for visa assistance, employment and accommodation support, and settlement resources.
“It’s more than just education, it’s about getting to know people and their circumstances while discussing available opportunities to set them up for success,” said Professor Williams.
