Scholarships
We partner with Australia's remote universities to fund scholarships for students from remote and very remote Australia.
How these scholarships work
We partner with universities to fund scholarships that support students from the Outback to access study and training.
- Apply directly through the university
- The university manages eligibility and selection
- Payments are made by the university to students
- We support the program and may be involved in selection
This model allows us to reach more people, reduce admin, and make sure support gets where it’s needed.
Why we do this
Working with universities helps us:
- Support more people at scale
- Back students already on a study pathway
- Ensure funding is delivered efficiently
- Focus on long-term access and opportunity
It’s one of the ways we’re funding the people and ideas of the Outback.
