Paying It Forward: $10,000 Longevity Exercise Physiology Scholarship Now Open at UTS
We’re proud to announce that applications are now open for the Longevity Exercise Physiology Scholarship at UTS, offering $10,000 to support the next generation of Exercise Physiologists.
Why This Matters to Us
For Longevity Director Jarrat Wood, this scholarship isn’t just a nice gesture — it’s personal.
Jarrat’s journey into the profession began in the rural town of Gunnedah, where opportunities were scarce and the path to becoming an Exercise Physiologist seemed out of reach. Relocating to Sydney to pursue his studies was not only a leap of faith, but a financial burden that could have cut his dream short.
Thanks to the support of scholarships and his tight-knit touch football community, Jarrat was able to stay the course and complete his degree. Now, he’s determined to give back to students walking a similar path.
“It has always been in the back of my mind that if and when the opportunity arises, I could give back to a student in the same way that others gave to me when I needed it the most.”
— Jarrat Wood
Investing Where It Counts
Out of all the places we could choose to invest $10,000 — marketing, equipment, expansion — we’ve chosen this: supporting a student facing socio-economic challenges in their final year of study. Why? Because we believe in the future of our profession.
Exercise Physiology is more than just a job. It’s a calling to serve others, improve health outcomes, and shift the landscape of healthcare in Australia. This scholarship is about more than financial support — it’s about mentorship, community, and opening doors for someone who will go on to change lives.
Let’s Make an Impact Together
The Longevity Exercise Physiology Scholarship is open to final-year UTS Exercise Physiology students who demonstrate both financial need and a strong commitment to a career in clinical EP.
We’re calling on our community to share this opportunity. If you know a student who could benefit — someone with passion, drive, and a financial roadblock — let them know: there is support. And there is a team of people who believe in them.
