Western Sydney University offers an early entry program called the HSC True Reward. This program allows Year 12 students to receive conditional early offers into a Western Sydney University degree based on their HSC subject results rather than their ATAR. The program recognises students' subject performance as a strong indicator of future success, providing peace of mind and helping reduce pressure on students. Key points about the HSC True Reward early entry:

• Applications for 2025 Year 12 students are open.
• Offers are made conditionally, with the requirement of successfully completing the HSC.
• Students are assessed on Year 11 or Year 12 subject bands.
• Selection rank can be increased for students living or schooling in Western Sydney.
• The program is open to both domestic and international NSW HSC students.
• Some courses may have additional criteria like interviews or portfolios.
• Early offers through this program start releasing in September 2025, with multiple rounds thereafter.
• The program also supports students with academic and wellbeing resources.

This early offer initiative helps students focus on strengths in relevant subjects rather than the scaled ATAR score alone, and it is designed to increase access and support for Western Sydney students aiming for university.
