Gallipoli Scholarship Fund

There is an opportunity for an Aboriginal young person who is a descendant of an Aboriginal veteran to apply for a Scholarship with the Gallipoli Scholarship Fund.

The Calleo Indigenous Community Fund (CICF) strives to support the enhancement of employment, education, and career development opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. As the CICF grows, we are committed to supporting more causes and individuals to enable the development and creation of education and employment success for Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander people.

To provide more opportunities for eligible descendants of veterans, the Gallipoli Scholarship Fund is establishing additional Bursaries with Ex-Service and not-for-profit organisations, RSL Clubs and Sub-Branches, Australian Government entities, Corporations, Foundations and individual donors.

Scholarships and Bursaries
The person can be in either their first or second year of tertiary education, undertaking studies in any field at any university or TAFE in Australia. (If TAFE, they must be enrolled in a degree or advanced diploma - not a short course.)

To be eligible for this bursary, they must:

• Be under 25 years of age.
• Have guaranteed enrolment. 
• Be able to verify their Indigenous identity.
• Be a direct descendant of an Indigenous Veteran - this is a key requirement because this bursary is to honour our Indigenous Veterans. 

The Bursary provides $8,000 pa for up to three years of study (subject to the scholar continuing). 
In addition to this stipend, Gallipoli Scholars also receive:

• A beautiful Gallipoli Scholar Medallion
• A framed Certificate of their award
• A high-quality backpack
• A military history book
• Assigned a non-academic mentor to assist them

The Calleo Indigenous Community Fund (CICF) supports employment, education, and career development for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. CICF continues to expand its support for relevant initiatives and individuals.

Grant proposals are welcome from both individuals and organisations. Please review these guidelines before submitting your application, or contact hello@calleoindigenous.com.au for further advice.
