Ngalaya Bursaries and Grants

As a registered charity and the peak body for First Nations lawyers and law students in NSW/ACT, Ngalaya is committed to supporting the next generation of First Nations law-makers. Ngalaya has funds available to support Indigenous law students with once-off bursaries or Ngalaya members with specific grants. Applications are always open, with priority given to individuals experiencing financial need. The Bursary is available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students currently studying a Bachelor of Laws, Juris Doctor or PLT program in NSW or the ACT. The Grant is a once-off payment towards the cost of specific goods or services to support education, professional development or advocacy, including conference attendance, professional training, purchasing equipment or resources. This program provides approximately $1000 per award for one semester duration.
