With the massive cost increases of many courses you need to find all of the financial support available so that you don’t end uni with a massive debt.
I found these unusual ones:
- Jewellery designers
- Women into non-traditional trades
- Pinnacle Foundation Scholarships are for LGBTI 16 – 24-year-old students who need financial and practical support.
- Country local governments can get grants to employ a trainee
Most scholarships can be found in the Good Universities Guide.
- You can subscribe to a newsletter about WA university scholarships on scholarshippd.net.
- Check Nursing
- Check Youth Development
Apply in Year 12
Many scholarships need to be applied for during year 12.
The closing dates vary depending on the scholarship but many close in August or September.
Some scholarships require a personal statement and references which may take some time to compile.
