FIRST NATIONS SCHOLARSHIPS
We proudly collaborate with two organisations committed to increasing access to education for First Nations students: the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF) and The Smith Family's Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP).
AIEF and IYLP offer scholarship funding for First Nations students to complete Year 12. Both agencies provide mentoring and leadership, with career support to help the successful transition from school to employment or tertiary studies.
