Pincus Family Foundation Scholarship Application

Pincus Family Foundation Scholarship Application 2024

The Pincus Family Foundation Scholarship (PFFS) gives motivated but financially disadvantaged young people who are current or recent clients of OzChild with the opportunity to access education and training after secondary school. A PFFS provides around $5,000/year to support higher or further education study commencing next year. The support would continue in each year of the course. You may be looking to start a course for the first-time next year or possibly already enrolled in a course and seeking assistance to continue. The funds are to offset some of the costs of tertiary education at university or any accredited training course at TAFE or a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). A PFFS can be used to help pay for items such as course fees, textbooks, tools, technology, travel to/from study, desks/chairs or other study or course needs. At OzChild we believe every young person deserves the chance to shine and recognise the challenges faced in gaining access to education and training opportunities. We also know that having the chance to fulfil your educational dreams can be life changing. Hence up to five scholarships may be awarded annually. We encourage applicants from all cultural backgrounds to apply. To learn more, or for queries about your application, please email: scholarships@ozchild.org.au.
