Scholarships and prizes

It’s worth applying

Scholarships are designed to encourage and support all kinds of students. People often assume scholarships are awarded for academic merit, but many are specifically for students who are experiencing financial difficulties, or who come from particular communities. Bendigo has a number of scholarships open only to students from the region.
