There are up to five scholarships available and each scholarship pays for 50-100% of tuition fees for the course being undertaken.  Preferred not-for-profit organisations eligible for 100% scholarship include those with programs that maximise the education prospects of current and future generations of young people and / or creating employment readiness training and work experience opportunities for the long-term unemployed.  All not-for-profits may apply.
