Premier's Teachers Mutual Bank Aboriginal Education Scholarship

This scholarship is open to teachers in NSW Schools, NSW early childhood services or in TAFE NSW campuses.

The scholarship is for the study of Aboriginal education relevant to the NSW curriculum or TAFE related courses. Topics may include areas around educational approaches, outcomes, health and wellbeing of Aboriginal students in schools, or any other topics related to Aboriginal education.

For over 50 years Teachers Mutual Bank has provided financial services to Australian teachers and is the only remaining bank dedicated to the education sector. With over 230,000 members and more than $10 billion in assets, we're one of Australia's largest mutual banks. We're more than just a bank, we're a market leader in Member advocacy in the Australian banking sector and committed to strong standards of corporate responsibility.

The successful applicant will undertake a study tour and follow-up activities of up to five weeks internationally or within Australia. Study tour travel is to be completed in one block between 1 January and 30 June 2025, with individual follow-up activities and reporting to be completed within 90 days of study tour completion.

Time may involve formal study (e.g., undertaking a short course at a respected tertiary institution) or may involve a program of visits to sites, schools and institutions to conduct interviews, observe exemplary practices and collect resources for the preparation of teaching materials related to the specific scholarship category.

A portion of time (up to one week) may be allocated toward follow-up dissemination activities (e.g., experience-sharing, professional learning) within and across NSW, either in-person or virtually.

One scholarship of $15,000 will be offered for travel during 2025.

Proudly supported by Teachers Mutual Bank.
