The Dearden Family Transforming Futures Scholarship
2023 The Dearden Family Transforming Futures Scholarship
Community/Equity
Transforming Futures Scholarships are awarded to students who have demonstrated need such as financial or social disadvantage. There are a range of criteria that are looked at in determining this need such as low income, family background, living in a rural or isolated region, having a permanent disability, being a recent migrant from a non-English speaking country, and Indigenous Australians.
The Dearden Family Transforming Futures Scholarship will be awarded in accordance with the existing selection framework of the Transforming Futures Scholarships - Future Students. Scholarships will be awarded in December 2022 to students commencing studies in Autumn 2023. The Dearden Family Transforming Futures Scholarship will be weighted towards a preference for supporting students studying a STEM related degree, from rural or regional Australia.
