What’s involved?
Applications are now open for the 2009 Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP) which offers exciting educational and leadership opportunities for young Indigenous students. The IYLP gives Indigenous young people the chance to study at high performing schools or universities and benefit from practical leadership experiences and personal development. Indigenous students between the ages of 12-25 who are from remote or regional communities are encouraged to apply now for university and high-school scholarships.
There are currently 151 secondary students and 36 tertiary students placed on IYLP throughout Australia. The program has demonstrated an exceptionally high rate of retention with 90% of secondary students continuing with their scholarships.
Why should people do this?
IYLP high-school scholarships of up to $15,000 per eligible student, per year, are available for tuition and accommodation costs at participating education providers. IYLP university scholarships offer eligible students up to $6,000 per year for university course fees and other educational requirements.
