NSW Aboriginal Land Council's new $30 million education scholarship fund
The New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council has announced plans for a multi-million dollar self funding education endowment fund.
The Council will officially launch the $30m scholarship, achievement and leadership scheme by December this year with the aim of assisting the primary, secondary, tertiary and technical education of Aboriginal people.
The endowment fund will aim to provide on-going support and benefits for Aboriginal people across the entire spectrum of educational opportunities, including mature age students.
Awards under the scheme will be open to all Aboriginal people in NSW and will provide opportunities for study at primary and secondary schools, higher learning institutions, colleges and universities.
Scholarship monies provided will vary with the circumstances of the individual.
The eligibility criteria will cover financial need, academic performance, connection with the Aboriginal community, commitment to the field of study and leadership potential.
