Students with Disabilities 

30 September Applications Close Australian Disability and Indigenous Peoples' Education Fund 

The Australian Disability and Indigenous Peoples’ Education Fund is open for applications. 

For many people with disabilities, education can go a long way to not only developing their skills but also their self-esteem and the pride of their family, friends and community. This education fund is about helping people complete or undertake courses and programs through distributing small six monthly grants of up to $2,500 to assist people with disabilities to continue their learning. 

People with disabilities of any age living in Australia may apply for any assistance to help with both formal and informal education.
