About This Opportunity

This grant is available to support Aboriginal students with their living costs whilst at TAFE or university. By helping the recipient overcome barriers that might get in the way of studying or applying to study, this grant aims to improve retention rates of existing students and increase enrolment of aspiring students. The grant is specifically designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who are social housing tenants or experiencing housing stress, defined as spending more than 30% of their weekly income on accommodation. Eligible students must be enrolled full-time in an approved course, or part-time if living with a disability or mental health condition. The program addresses the critical intersection of housing affordability and educational access for Indigenous students in New South Wales.
