Two funding opportunities open until late September

Australian Disability and Indigenous Peoples' Education Fund
The fund assists indigenous and non-indigenous people with disability to participate in both formal and informal education programs through small grants.
For many people with disability from both indigenous and non-indigenous backgrounds, education can go a long way to not only developing their skills but also their self-esteem and the pride of their family, friends and community. For many, a small financial grant will enable them to undertake a course. The ADIPEF is about helping people complete or undertake courses and programs through providing small grants.
The ADIPEF is looking to distribute small six monthly grants of up to $2,500 to assist people with disability to continue their learning.
Applications for the next round of funding close on 30 September.

Young Carers Bursary Programme

The Young Carer Bursary Programme is a national program administered by Carers Australia in Canberra. The aim of the Programme is to help relieve the financial pressure on young carers to undertake part-time employment, in addition to managing their educational and caring responsibilities. The provision of a bursary increases the opportunity for young carers to remain in, or return to, education or training leading to improved employment opportunities and long-term finances.

The Australian Government has committed $1 million for bursaries in 2016 and 2017. Bursaries are set at $3,000 each so 333 bursaries will be awarded in those two years.

Applications can be completed via an on-line application form on the Young Carer Bursary website from 18 August 2015, closing at 5pm AEST Monday 28 September 2015.

If you require further information call 1800 756 238 or email Carers Australia at ycbursaries@carersaustralia.com.au
