Mick Young Scholarships honour the memory of Mick Young who died of Leukaemia in 1996 aged 59. The Scholarships were first offered in 1997 to further the work of Mick Young, a shearer, and federal cabinet minister who raised funds to help students complete their education. Mick Young was driven by the core belief that education creates opportunity and has the capacity to change the lives of individuals, families and communities.
The Mick Young Funded Scholarship is specifically for students who require assistance paying their course, who have temporary Australian visas, or are non-Australian residents. It provides opportunities for students experiencing severe financial difficulties that would otherwise struggle to pay their fees without assistance to enrol in their chosen course successfully.
This scholarship can benefit domestic students with a reduction of their course fees, up to the value of $500. Please refer to T&C’s, for further information pertaining to what course related expenses, are covered and/or excluded from this scholarship.
