National Scholarship Program in Australia

Summary

The National Scholarship Program (NSP) is the flagship initiative for the GVI Charitable Trust. This project aims to fund opportunities and training for disadvantaged individuals in Australia, to allow for increased personal development, team work and leadership and open up future opportunities. The program is also focused upon creating a sense of responsibility, both locally and globally, and offering beneficiaries the tools necessary to make a difference to their own lives, their community and to impact upon global issues.

National Scholarship Program projects provide opportunities and training for underprivileged youth and adults in the regions where we work. Beneficiaries receive support and access to education, training and opportunities, aimed at creating long term improvements in their lives, their local community and their environment.

This project will fund scholarships for disadvantaged individuals in Australia which will include training, qualifications and experience. Scholarships range from volunteering, work experience with socially responsible organisations and internships, both in Australia and overseas, often including formal qualifications as well as non formal skills such as accountability, responsibility, teamwork and leadership. Beneficiaries will work as part of a dynamic, professional team, learning from experienced leaders.

These scholarships will provide the opportunity for beneficiaries to learn about and directly contribute towards critical projects with long term sustainable goals. Within our community beneficiaries will learn about and work alongside truly inspirational people and contribute towards important achievements. These scholarships offer experience, training and qualifications and aim to offer beneficiaries the tools and confidence to change their own lives and their communities in the longer term.
