SCHOLARSHIPS

CHANCES FOR CHILDREN

Chances for Children provides education scholarships for young people from the Mallee. There are a number of scholarships available.  Check your eligibility here. 

Tertiary scholarships assist with compulsory study costs at University and TAFE.  Where the young person is living outside of the Mallee to undertake study help is also provided for essential living expenses (such as rent, bills, transport and other expenses) where they cannot otherwise be afforded. 

Keeping Kids at Secondary School scholarships support students in Years 11 and 12 with subject fees, curriculum based camp fees, compulsory VCAL costs and prescribed books and calculators.  Help can be provided for other school related costs, e.g. travel or clothing, where there are exceptional circumstances. 

The scholarships are 100% community donation funded.  Applications are assessed on financial need.  Through community support, the Chances program addresses financial barriers for young people in the Mallee to provide capacity and opportunity to achieve their educational aspirations and higher level pursuits.

Please note that the first funding round for 2021 will open on February 1and will close on March 15.
