YOU THRIVE SCHOLARSHIPS

Youthrive Victoria provides a range of scholarships to support the education of young people from rural Victoria. It also assists donors and other organisations to establish and administer high-impact rural scholarship programs. Since 2011, over $1.96 million in scholarships has been awarded to rural school leavers.

 

Youthrive Victoria’s scholarship programs are designed to:

  • Improve equity of access to post-school education for rural young people, and
  • Ensure the availability of qualified young people to deliver services, drive economic growth and lead their rural communities.

Youthrive Victoria provides University Scholarships, Rural Chances Vocational Scholarships and Community Leader Scholarships.

 

It  provides wrap-around support to scholarship recipients, including transition and career mentoring, leadership development programs and access to an alumni network, that are all designed to meet the specific needs of rural young people.

MONASH SCHOLARSHIPS - CHANGE OF PROCESS

Monash Scholarships for students applying via VTAC will NO LONGER require a separate application. Applicants who have a Monash course on their VTAC preferences will be assessed automatically based on ATAR for merit-based scholarships (this is the current process so there has been no change here). 

 

Those scholarships that have an equity category requirement will now also be assessed automatically based on the SEAS data provided as part of the VTAC application.  

 

This change: 

offers an improved student experience during what is a very busy time for applicants 

means there is one less process your young people need to complete to be considered 

simplifies the message around applying for scholarships i.e. "Tell us about you and we'll match you to the best, most appropriate scholarship for your situation."

THE RURAL YOUTH NETWORK

The Rural Youth Network is creating a new type of community where young people can find connections locally and across the state of Victoria. 

 

Would you like to meet more people, learn new things, navigate challenges and share interests and opportunities with other young people? Then join the Rural Youth Network! 

 

Its purpose is to build a sense of community and connection for young rural and regional Victorians (aged 18-30) to expand social networks and provide access to useful resources and opportunities. We want all young people to have good lives and for rural communities to be thriving. To find out more go to https://ryn.org.au/index
