Essendon Education Academy Community Scholarship

The Essendon Education Academy Community Scholarship is designed for students undertaking a dual Diploma of Business with the Diploma of Leadership and Management who have a passion for sport and face circumstances that impact their study. This scholarship provides comprehensive financial support covering 100% of tuition fees and Student Services and Amenities Fees (SSAF). Recipients also gain the unique opportunity to learn and work within the Essendon Football Club, combining academic education with practical work experience and coaching in a professional sporting environment. The scholarship is aimed at supporting students from disadvantaged or under-represented backgrounds, including those facing financial hardship, disability, personal difficulties, or students from rural/regional areas, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, refugees, and students from non-English speaking backgrounds. Up to two scholarships are available annually for full-time students enrolling in both programs at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.
