Aunty Agnes Shea Early Childhood Education Scholarship

The Inaugural Patron of Yerrabi Yurwang, Aunty Agnes Shea OAM was a highly respected Elder of the Ngunnawal People of the ACT and surrounding regions. For many decades, Aunty Agnes was a strong voice for Aboriginal People and her Community, advocating, among many things, for better education of younger generations. By providing opportunities for Aboriginal people to gain educational qualifications, these scholarships continue her legacy by contributing to the growth of a knowledgeable and skilled Aboriginal workforce educating and caring for future generations. The Aunty Agnes Shea Early Childhood Education Scholarships offer opportunities for Aboriginal people living on or intending work on Ngunnawal Country to gain a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Birth to 5 Years). The Scholarship program will provide both financial and wrap-around support.
