In addition, applicants should meet the following criteria:

- Applicants must meet all of the academic and admission criteria to be admitted to the University of Wollongong in Dubai and be intending to enrol in the relevant semester for which they have applied.
- If successful, the applicant must become an active member of the UOWD team in the sport for which the Scholarship is awarded.
