Eligible students across the Cootamundra electorate are being encouraged to apply for the 2023 Youth Development Scholarships which opened on 5 September 2022 and close on 3 March 2023.
Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke said this scholarship will provide support to young people and give them a boost to finish their studies.
“I encourage all eligible youth to apply for the $1000 grant with past scholarship recipients being supported to undertake further studies to become doctors, architects and teachers,” Ms Cooke said.
Minister for Families and Communities and Minister for Disability Services Natasha Maclaren-Jones said that doing well in school will open up opportunities for youth.
“From textbooks to internet access, the scholarships will ensure our young people are well-equipped to reach their full potential,” Mrs Maclaren-Jones said
The Youth Development Scholarships are open to students studying Years 10 to 12 at high school or TAFE equivalent. Students who received a scholarship previously may be eligible to re-apply.
More than 4700 students have been supported by the scholarship program since it was established in 2017.
There are eligibility criteria for the scholarship which applicants must meet. For more information on how to apply, visit Youth Development Scholarships Youth Development Scholarships 2023 (nsw.gov.au)
