Scholarships for emergency management volunteers

The Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience (AIDR) is administering a new $1 million Australian Government scholarship fund to boost education development opportunities for emergency management volunteers. The scholarships are available to Australian citizens or permanent residents. Volunteers in an emergency management agency can undertake studies in accredited units or courses in emergency and disaster management vocational training/education, and higher education.

 

You may be able to receive up to $12,000 for completing vocational education and training and up to $25,000 for higher education.

 

There are a total of 4 rounds of applications. The current round (Round Two) is for approved study from January 2018 to 1 August 2019.

 

For Round Two, AIDR is encouraging indigenous volunteers for higher education or vocational training/education, and female volunteers for vocational education.
