Scholarship

In partnership with Victorian under-represented schools, we are delivering a Scholarship Program for VCE students. The program seeks to empower young people from pressured circumstances by providing free access to tutoring, mentoring and wellbeing services. Not only does the program deliver subject-specific tutoring to students, it also focuses on areas of personal growth and mental health that are often an overlooked component of student wellbeing and academic success.
