About this opportunity

The First Nations Australians Planning Program Scholarship has been developed by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) to embed caring for Country within the State's land use planning system. The scholarship is a DPLH initiative to support and encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students into land use planning roles within the Department. The scholarship provides financial support for the normal expected remaining duration of the course based on a full-time study load of 100 credits per semester. Recipients can use the funds at their discretion to contribute towards education related expenses while pursuing either a Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning or Master of Urban and Regional Planning at Curtin University.
