The Gallipoli Scholarship Fund Calleo Indigenous Bursary provides financial support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who are descendants of Australian Indigenous Veterans. This bursary specifically targets young Indigenous students under 25 years of age who are direct descendants of Indigenous veterans who served in any conflict or peace operation from WW1 onwards. The scholarship supports students enrolling in their first year of tertiary study at any Australian university or TAFE (for Advanced Diploma or Degree courses). Applicants must demonstrate necessitous circumstances, which may include financial, physical, or social challenges. The bursary provides approximately $24,000 total over 3 years, with 3 scholarships available annually. This funding opportunity aims to honor the service of Indigenous veterans while supporting educational advancement for their descendants.
