The YBDS scholarships will be awarded across three areas: education and training (secondary & tertiary), the arts and sports.
Sport
The sports scholarship category provides funds for up and coming young Indigenous athletes to help them successfully participate in the sports of their choice. Young people sometimes find it difficult to meet the ongoing and significant costs associated with participation at sporting competitions. Funding can be used towards the cost of travel and/or accommodation to attend a sporting championship (state, national or international), young sports people who have been selected in an official team to compete, camps and sports clinics, uniforms or equipment.
Education & training
This category supports young Indigenous students or trainees who want to pursue their education and training goals by providing scholarships that enable students in financial need to attend school, training and/or university. Recipients can receive $2000 or $1000 towards educational or training goals. Scholarship recipients are required to produce a ‘Plan’ that shows their goals and how the scholarship funds will be used.
Funds are paid over 6 months and can be used to pay for such things as course fees and support costs such as equipment, uniforms, textbooks and stationary.
Arts
This category is for innovative young Indigenous artists to undertake professional development program in their chosen field. The scholarship is open to young artists and performers from all art forms, including dance, design, digital arts (including photography), Aboriginal arts, literature, music, theatre, screen and the visual arts. Funding can be used towards any items that support their ability to further their artistic goals. Items included but not limited to:
