Stronger Smarter Institute Teachers of STEM Initiative - Graduate Certificate - Indigenous Scholarship

The Teachers of STEM Initiative™ is an innovative initiative focusing on supporting First Nations female tertiary students to secure a STEM qualification as an element of their degree. Developed by The Stronger Smarter Institute, through funding provided by the National Indigenous Australians Agency, the Teachers of STEM Initiative provides support to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander women to complete STEM teaching qualifications. Successful applicants will receive financial scholarship support to help with the costs of studying for undergraduate and post graduate students, mentoring support from First Nation teachers and STEM professionals in both academic and wellbeing, professional development programs with a focus on Indigenous Knowledges STEM, and networking and partnership opportunities. The scholarship specifically supports educators who are willing to upgrade their existing teaching qualification with an approved STEM course or are prepared to study a Graduate Certificate to support their existing STEM qualification, with the overarching goal of transforming Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student education outcomes.
