Young Carers Scholarship Program 2024

The Young Carers Scholarship Program gives young carers opportunities to grow outside of their caring roles. These grants can be used for further education, joining in school or community activities or helping young carers to further their creative or sporting passions.

The Wellbeing Team is promoting this scholarship to students who provide care and extra support to a family member living with a disability, mental illness or older person with care needs or chronic illness.

Scholarships are awarded up to $500 to support students to access:

• school or community-based classes/activities such as camps and excursions.
• School trips or sporting club participation fees.
• Tutoring
• Skills-based activities and lessons such as dance, music, fitness or driving
• Club memberships
• Direct educational expenses such as compulsory fees, books, uniforms and fares

We encourage you all to apply – we can support you with this. If you are concerned and not sure if you are eligible, please discuss with an adult you trust, for example a teacher, Student Advocate, Year Level Learning Leader or contact the Wellbeing Team.

Applications close Thursday 18 April 2024.
