This $148 million initiative helps ensure all Victorian students can take part in school trips and sporting activities. The fund commenced in 2015 and will initially run for four years.

Families holding a valid means-tested concession card or temporary foster parents are eligible to apply. There are two criteria that must be met. 

Payments are:

Payments are made directly to the school and are tied to the student.

The CSEF payment cannot be used towards voluntary school charges, books, stationery, school uniforms, before/after school care, music lessons, or formals/graduations.

If you were entitled to this funding this year, please note you will need to reapply next year.
