Purpose
The Change Makers round of the ICDA diversity scholarships is for those who work or volunteer with an organisation advocating for a change in our communities that will help shape a better future.
Overview
The community sector is full of fearless advocates and advocacy groups, but if we’re serious about getting the message across, then our advocacy groups need the knowledge in the board room that will help them flourish.
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).
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 Advocacy sub-sector), with decisions to be made on eligibility within 10 days of submission.
Limitations
Applicants must demonstrate:
- their experience sitting on a board or working closely with a board of directors
- their passion for improving diversity in the community sector
- the main opportunities and challenges for improving diversity in the community sector
- their reasons for wanting to improve their governance skills
Applicants must also agree to the terms and conditions
