To be eligible for the scholarship you must meet all of the following eligibility requirements: 

  • You must be a young student (aged 25 or under) who will be undertaking a Certificate IV in Building and Construction at TAFE NSW’s Ultimo or St George campuses.
  • You must be new to the construction industry (i.e. you must be starting your career in construction).
  • You must demonstrate educational or financial disadvantage or need, such as through:
    • being unemployed and seeking to enter the workforce

Any scholarship awarded is on the basis that you enrol in a specified course and maintain an active enrolment status. Your scholarship may be terminated if your enrolment status changes (e.g. you withdraw from your course). If you are awarded the scholarship, any other TAFE NSW scholarship, grant or bursary that you currently hold will be rescinded.
