Opportunity Scholarships
Opportunity Scholarships are awarded to talented, students on Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA), Youth Allowance, ABSTUDY or Pensioner Education Supplement (PES) to enable them to pursue their dreams. Students must have permanent residency in Australia.
Their area of talent may be wide ranging from the arts, humanities, science, maths or sport. Opportunity Scholarships, up to $1,000, are awarded to students enrolled in a Government primary or secondary school for school approved, curriculum related programs for individual students who lack financial and practical resources.
Housing Week Scholarships
Housing Week scholarships are available for students who are living in public or community-managed housing, or at risk of homelessness and attending a Victorian Government school or a Victorian TAFE Institute. Students must have permanent residency in Australia.
The Housing Week Scholarships program is now being administered by Kids Under Cover on behalf of the Office of Housing.
All questions about the program should now be directed to Kids Under Cover – (03) 9429 7444.
City Learning Scholarships
The City Learning Scholarships are available to students attending the Cityscape program.
Scholarships are offered to individual students to subsidise the cost of participation in the programs.
These scholarships are provided by philanthropic individuals and organisations to provide educational opportunities to those students who may not otherwise be able to attend.
Students must have permanent residency in Australia. The scholarships are not guaranteed and are dependent on the number of applications drawn from the scholarship funds.
Applications will be accepted by schools booked into the Cityscape program. These applications are to be made 8 weeks before the school attends the City Centre.
