About this opportunity
Students in regional areas often have to relocate in order to study, leaving behind the support of family and friends and feeling torn between their education and their obligations. Fortunately, assistance in the form of a RAS Foundation Rural Scholarship can help ease some worries and allow greater freedom to more regularly visit home and lend a hand.
Eligibility details
Applicants for a Rural Scholarship must:
- Be enrolled in or applying for study in any accredited tertiary course including Vocational Educational Training (VET) courses at an approved Australian education provider. This includes university, TAFE or college.
- Demonstrate a desire to contribute to the future of rural and regional NSW.
- Demonstrate how a scholarship would assist them in achieving their education or training goal.
- Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
- Be school leavers having completed a minimum of year 10. Students completing school-based apprenticeships and traineeships are not eligible to apply.
