The Indigenous Youth leadership Program (IYLP) provides scholarships and leadership opportunities for young Indigenous people. The programme is a national initiative that will offer up to 250 scholarships to young Indigenous Australians 12 - 25 years of age undertaking secondary or tertiary studies within Australia.
The target is young Indigenous Australians from remote areas who have demonstrated potential leadership capability and want to develop their leadership skills with the support of both family and community. Tertiary scholarships offer $6000, secondary scholarships offer $15,000 per student per year.
Many universities across Australia offer scholarships and support to Indigenous Students. Although we will add more information as it comes to hand, if you are interested, you should contact the University directly.
