Foundation Housing Scholarships

Education Scholarship
Available to eligible Foundation Housing tenants and residents.

Kaartdijin Scholarship
Specifically available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tenants and residents.

Kaartdijin means ‘knowledge’ in Noongar language, reflecting the scholarship’s focus on supporting education, learning and opportunity.

Scholarship funding can help with a wide range of education, training and development costs, including:

• TAFE, university or other course fees
• Textbooks, workbooks and study guides
• Computers and other equipment needed for study
• Uniforms, sports kits and specialist equipment
• Tutoring and additional learning support
• Specialist skills development, such as writing courses, training programs or football academies

Supporting our tenants to achieve their goals

Over the years, Foundation Housing scholarship recipients have used their scholarships to pursue a diverse range of goals – from university degrees and vocational qualifications to specialist skills and sporting development.

Past recipients have completed qualifications in accounting, pursued careers in nursing and mental health, studied information technology and developed their skills through other education and training opportunities.

Whatever the pathway, our scholarships are about helping remove some of the financial barriers to learning and giving our tenants and residents greater opportunity to pursue their goals.
