Year 12 students planning to undertake further study in 2025 can now apply for Youthrive Victoria’s scholarships.
Backed by the not-for-profit organisation, the scholarships provide rural students with grants of up to $5000 for vocational studies, and $30,000 for university studies.
Last year, 11 Youthrive Victoria Rural University scholarships and 21 Rural Chances scholarships were awarded to young rural and regional Victorians looking to undertake further study in 2024.
Youthrive Victoria Chief Executive Andrew McGuckian praised the generous donations of philanthropic donors that allow students in need to access tertiary education.
“We believe that our scholarships and programs are helping to create positive outcomes for students from rural and regional Victoria, and hope to see a large number of applications for both our university and TAFE scholarships this year,” he said.
The scholarships will provide financial support to assist with living expenses and travel costs, specifically addressing the needs of students from regional areas.
Molly, a 2024 Youthrive Victoria university scholar, stated the scholarship allowed her to actively engage with her studies.
“The scholarship has empowered me to not only focus on my studies but also actively engage in initiatives aimed at improving rural areas,” she said.
“It relieved the financial stress of the many expenses associated with university, and the money has allowed me to focus on my studies and engage in community service activities, such as taking over the social media and coaching at the Newlyn Football Netball Club to enhance my own local community.”
University scholarship applications are now open, and close on 25 August.
Rural Chances vocational scholarships are now open, and close November 14.
