More than 50 scholarship opportunities will be available to TAFE Gippsland students for the 2024 academic year.
TAFE Gippsland, along with its community partners offer a range of scholarships for students who need financial and practical assistance.
Students can apply for a scholarship if they’ve enrolled in VCE/VCE-VM, certificate I, II, III, IV, diploma or advanced diploma courses. Students enrolled in short courses and VET DSS programs are not eligible.
Student support services manager, Bonnie Healey, there are two scholarship rounds open each year.
“Our first round of applications opens on March 4, 2024 for two weeks and then the second round opens on July 15,” Ms Healey said.
“With funds supporting travel, placement, financial hardship, Koorie support and technology, there is likely a category that suits our students.”
Last year, TAFE Gippsland partnered with Becon Constructions Pty Ltd and Esso Australia to offer eleven $1000 scholarships to eligible students.
Ms Healey said students should head to the scholarships page on the TAFE Gippsland website to find out how they reap the benefits of TAFE Gippsland’s partnerships with local businesses and regional industry.
“We have nine scholarships available this year, including the recently introduced Tim Weight Memorial Scholarship, established in memory of a much-loved member of the TAFE Gippsland community who sadly passed away in December 2021,” Ms Healey said.
“Currently, the Bendigo Bank TAFE Scholarship program is taking applications from students in rural or regional areas who have been offered a full-time place at an Australian TAFE for the first time in 2024.
“Applications close on January 31, 2024 for this one though, so students need to apply soon.”
