For more information see Section 6. There are a large number of scholarships offered nationally to students in all three education sectors. Scholarships are offered across a broad range of subjects, such as nursing, equine studies, engineering, geology, electronics, management, journalism, hospitality and sport. Monies offered range in scale from small amounts to cover the cost of course materials, to thousands of dollars or the waiving of all course fees. Some scholarships may be offered prior to the commencement of the course or during the second or third year of study.
Some scholarships are also available for part-time and external studies.
To find out more about scholarship opportunities in your field of study it is advisable to contact a range of institutions. Most universities have a Scholarships Officer who can assist you, or you can check university and college websites. Newspapers are also a good source of information. Don't limit your research to educational institutions only. Service clubs such as Freemasons, Apex, and Rotary may offer schemes to help youth at post secondary and post graduate levels.
