Ngalaya First Nations Law Scholarship

The Ngalaya First Nations Law Scholarship was established by Ngalaya Indigenous Corporation, the peak body for First Nations lawyers and law students in NSW/ACT to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students pursuing a law degree in NSW and the ACT. The scholarship is available with support from Colin Biggers & Paisley, and the Australian Department of Health. This scholarship provides financial support to Indigenous students enrolled in Bachelor of Laws or Juris Doctor programs at tertiary institutions in New South Wales or the Australian Capital Territory. Applicants will be assessed based on their demonstrated commitment to First Nations justice, demonstrated involvement in community-focused work, potential to advance First Nations' interests throughout their legal career, and financial need. The scholarship provides approximately $5,000 for one year, with one scholarship being offered.
