Matilda Award

Who can apply

The funder does not publish a structured list of eligible applicant types for this program. The eligibility criteria in the guidelines on the official page are the ones that count.

What the program funds

Convocation, in conjunction with the UWA Student Guild, makes an annual presentation of a cultural award known as the UWA Convocation Matilda Award for Cultural Excellence.

That description is University of Western Australia's own wording, reproduced from the official listing under Publisher copyright. Facts compiled from the institution's own public program pages; each record links to the exact page.. Our plain-English summaries are being written program by program and this one has not been done yet.

What it is for

This program is categorised under the following purposes. Each one that has a page of its own links to every other Australian grant we track for the same purpose.

• Arts and culture
• Community
• Energy
• Research and development
• Training and skills

How to apply

Applications for Matilda Award are made through University of Western Australia, not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.

Apply for Matilda Award on the official site

Applications close in May 2026. Government grant portals are busiest on the final day and several of them close on the stroke of the deadline, so the practical advice is to submit a day early.

This round is closed. Many Australian grant programs run again, and a closed program is the reason the alert list exists: we watch this page nightly and tell the list the day it reopens.
