Purpose

The First Nations Affairs round of the ICDA diversity scholarships supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people seeking to gain skills, knowledge and a qualification in governance to join a board, or move into a position of leadership.

Overview

First Nations Australians continue to be underrepresented on boards throughout Australia. Our country is worse off when we don't engage those who know it best. The First Nations Affairs round of the ICDA diversity scholarships supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people seeking to gain skills, knowledge and a qualification in governance to join a board, or move into a position of leadership. This round also supports those who works or volunteers with First Nations organisations.

Scholarship funding

The full cost of the Diploma of Governance is $4,500, comprising enrolment, assessment and administration. Partial scholarship recipients are liable for the remainder ($3,500).

The $1000 partial scholarships have been fast tracked to allow students to apply immediately for any of the targeted sub-sectors (this listing is about the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander sub-sector), with decisions to be made on eligibility within 10 days of submission.

  1. their experience sitting on a board or working closely with a board of directors
