The NSW Aboriginal Land Council’s (NSWALC) Educational Scholarship is now open for applications from today, 1 July 2024.

NSWALC’s Educational Scholarship provides two $10,000 scholarships and is aimed at NSW Aboriginal students in their penultimate year of study at university. In addition, the Scholarship recipients receive a valuable six-week paid internship, allowing students to apply their knowledge from their field of study.

NSWALC Chairperson Raymond Kelly says, “The scholarship is a chance for Aboriginal students to concentrate on their studies and emerge as future leaders within the Land Rights network.”

Fields of study may include law, finance, business, media and communications, human resources, land & environment, planning, policy, or property management.

Internships will be undertaken during an agreed time following the announcement of the successful applicants, in a NSWALC Team of the Scholarship recipients’ discipline.

Applications for the NSWALC Educational Scholarship close at 5:00pm on Saturday 31 August 2024.

Eligible Aboriginal university students interested in applying can access the application form on the NSWALC website’s Scholarship page. Applications are considered based on a set of criteria that includes you must come from NSW, and are a member of a Local Aboriginal Land Council.
