AusNet Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student Gippsland Scholarship

The AusNet Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student Gippsland Scholarship is a foundation scholarship offered by Federation University Australia in partnership with AusNet. This scholarship is specifically designed to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students studying in the Gippsland region. The scholarship provides financial assistance of $7,000 to help recipients pursue higher education at the bachelor, honours, or postgraduate level. AusNet's purpose is to connect communities with energy and accelerate a sustainable future. As Victoria's largest diversified energy network business, AusNet owns and operates over $12 billion of regulated and contracted assets, including electricity distribution, gas distribution, and the state-wide electricity transmission network. Through this scholarship, AusNet demonstrates its commitment to supporting Indigenous students in their educational journey. The scholarship is available to domestic students who are new or commencing their studies at Federation University Australia. With one scholarship available per year, this opportunity is designed to reduce financial barriers and enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to access and complete higher education qualifications in the Gippsland location.
