Tertiary Scholarship Program

Applications for the 2025 program are now closed. PLEASE NOTE: you must submit all results for the 2024 study period.

We will award 15 Tertiary Scholarships in 2025. Each valued at $1500, successful applicants will need to have completed at least one year at a recognised tertiary institution (university, Tafe, college etc) in 2024, and be continuing their studies in 2025.

Judged by a panel of external experts, we also have the pleasure of awarding the Anne Aquilina Award which recognises the work of students studying in the health professions. In 2024, this was awarded to Jasmine James-Howard who is studying a Bachelor of Clinical Science (Medicine) and Doctor of Medicine (MD) at Western Sydney University.

In 2024, the judges also awarded the inaugural First Nations Scholarship to Bilal Shah completing a Bachelor of Science at the University of Sydney.

Applicants must be a resident of Blacktown City and provide a copy of academic transcripts relating to their current studies (including those completed in 2024).

The judge’s decision on successful applicants will be final. Previous recipients of this scholarship are not eligible to apply.
