The Cultural Diversity round of the ICDA diversity scholarships is for anyone from a culturally and/or linguistically diverse background who wants a leg-up to represent and serve their community.

While ICDA has offered scholarships in the past for Australia's premier diploma-level governance qualification, rounds this year will offer opportunities to more individuals across more sectors, providing a leg-up to the most under-represented groups in the country.

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).

$1000 scholarships allow prospective students to apply immediately with decisions made on eligibility within 10 business days of submission.

Applicants must demonstrate:

• their experience sitting on a board or working closely with a board of directors
• their passion for improving cultural diversity in the community sector
• the main opportunities and challenges for improving cultural diversity in the community sector
• their reasons for wanting to improve their governance skills

Please note previous scholarship recipients are ineligible to apply.
