Purpose

Carers Victoria's Young Carer Scholarship program gives young carers attending secondary school the opportunity to be acknowledged for their contributions to their family and the community.

Overview

With this scholarship, they can participate in additional school or community-based activities that may enhance their skills, educational achievement, and abilities, as well as help them to participate more fully in their community.

Scholarships of up to $500 are awarded to successful applicants.

Priority

Highest priority will be given to applications from young people who are:

  • living in rural and regional areas. 
  • from First Nations or culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Limitations

Who can apply?

Young Carer Scholarships are open to secondary school students who live or go to school in Victoria and provide care and support to a family member with an illness or disability.

Please note the number of scholarships awarded is dependent on the amount of funding available. Those who receive a Young Carer Bursary in that year will not be eligible.
