Brown Family Educational Grant

The Brown Family Educational Grant is a gift from Kangan Institute's Board President Michael Brown who has chosen to donate $10,000 to create a grant that helps disadvantaged graduates of a VCAL program to continue their studies at tertiary level. The grant is also available students enrolling in the VCAL program at Kangan Institute.

These students will receive a $1000 educational grant to help with their tertiary studies.

The Brown Family Educational grants will be awarded in the Access and Equity category for Kangan Institute students enrolling in the VCAL or Kangan Institute graduates of the VCAL.

The educational grant will be awarded to students who have suffered financial hardship or experienced significant emotional or other hardships.

Please note: Your application for an educational grant does not guarantee you a place in the course of your choice. The usual processes for course application, selection and enrolment apply.
