The George Alexander Foundation Scholarship Program commenced at the University of Wollongong in 2018. The program aims to support high-achieving undergraduate students beginning their first year of study, with a primary focus on assisting students relocating from regional and rural areas.

Three scholarships are awarded annually, each valued at $24,000 and paid in instalments during the scholar's degree.

The scholarships are open to students who have received an ATAR or equivalent of 80+ and are commencing the first year of an undergraduate degree at the Wollongong campus. 

All GAF scholarships recognise students who can demonstrate academic merit, community involvement and leadership capability.
