The ACT Youth Scholarship Program (Scholarships) provide financial assistance to support young people aged 12 to 25 to overcome financial barriers to their personal and professional development. 

The Scholarships support individual young people to access services, supports and development opportunities that strengthen their wellbeing, independence and pathways to education, training or employment.

Applications must be submitted at least 6 weeks before the proposed activity, program or event start date.

ACT Youth Scholarships are awarded to individual young people. A parent, carer of support organisation may assist an individual with their application, but organisations cannot apply for funding for groups of young people or organisational activities.
