Scholarships

From time to time local businesses, organisations or government offer scholarships and grants across various learning areas and study departments. They aim to help cover the tuition of your studies. We will list them here when they are open for application.

Youthrive Victoria and its supporters have created Rural Chances Scholarships.

Rural Chances can help if you:

• Have to travel long distances or move away from home to gain qualifications, or
• Struggle with the many expenses associated with training and building your skills, and
• Want to fill a skills gap in rural Victoria, and
• Would like mentoring and networking opportunities.

For 2020, there are at least 10 scholarships valued at $5000 to assist young people to move away from their home town or to assist with extensive travel required to complete training qualifications. Rural Chances scholarship recipients will receive extra care from a mentor and leadership and networking opportunities.

Additionally, at least 10 smaller scholarships of up to $2000 are available for specific items to support training.
