Each successful applicant will be required to provide Vicdeaf with periodic reports and a statement of expenditure, preferably from the relevant school, College or University. Monies are allocated on the grounds that the course will be satisfactorily completed. If an applicant does not commence, or withdraws from a course, the trustees may require all or part of the grant to be returned to the Trust. In general, the sum granted will be paid in two equal amounts. It must be shown how successful completion of the course would benefit the Deaf Community in general.
All applicants are to be considered on merit only.
If no applications are satisfactory, then no award will be made for that year. In the event of Vicdeaf deciding to award funds that would not cover the full amount requested, the applicant needs to advise whether they would still be able to enrol on that basis. The Course undertaken should be relevant to the applicant's career prospects and potential. Applicants should be those recognised by Vicdeaf as a member of the Deaf Community. The applicant must be a resident in the state of Victoria for at least 12 months.
