The John Curtin Scholarship Program (JCSP) is for academically gifted students who display John Curtin's qualities of vision, leadership and community service. Students selected as John Curtin Scholars have excelled in a wide range of endeavours, and have lent their talents and energies to the community around them.

These scholarships cover the cost of undergraduate education at Curtin University and provide an annual stipend of $2,000 per year, plus a one off payment of $6,000 for an approved international experience.  

Scholars will be paired with a current JCSP mentor throughout their degree.
