Scholarships
Top Scholarships for Indigenous Students
For many Indigenous students, particularly those living in rural and remote communities,
accessing university or higher education can seem almost impossible. But thankfully, there are ways to make education more accessible and affordable; and one of them is through scholarships. In this blog, we’ll look at some great scholarships for Indigenous students you might like to apply for.
Why should I apply for scholarships?
Scholarships can help unlock doors to higher education, empowering you to pursue your dreams without the burden of financial constraints. Scholarships could provide financial aid, covering tuition fees, accommodation expenses, textbooks, and sometimes even living allowances. They are awarded to students for a wide variety of reasons, including academic excellence, leadership potential, community involvement, and to help deserving students from underrepresented backgrounds.
Scholarships for Indigenous students
There are lots of government, university, and community scholarships out there to support Indigenous students. Here are some of the best ones we’ve found:
How do I apply?
Most scholarship applications these days are done online, so you’ll need access to a computer or tablet and the internet. While each scholarship may have specific requirements, generally you’ll need to submit an application form, academic transcripts, and a personal statement outlining your achievements, aspirations, and community involvement. Remember to highlight your unique experiences, cultural heritage, and resilience in overcoming challenges. Don’t forget, you can always seek assistance from mentors, teachers, or scholarship support services if you need help putting your application together.
Dream big
Scholarships can provide a stepping stone towards fulfilling your dreams, whether that’s becoming a lawyer, an engineer, an artist, or a leader in your community. Take advantage of these opportunities, be ambitious, and don’t be afraid to dream big.
You can find more blogs about scholarships and search for opportunities on our website here.
Getting Ready for Work
Navigating the Skills Gap
Navigating the job market as a young person can be a complex process. Often, the conversation revolves around the “skills gap,” suggesting that job seekers lack the necessary skills for available roles. However, the reality is often much more nuanced. The challenge frequently lies in a mismatch between what employers offer and what employees seek, rather than a simple lack of skills. Understanding this can empower young people to approach their job search strategically and find roles that truly fit their needs and aspirations. Here are three key insights to consider when you’re searching for jobs.
Understand your value
In the modern job market, technical skills are just one piece of the puzzle. Employers are increasingly looking for employees who bring a diverse range of experiences, interests, and transferable skills to the table. These can include communication skills, problem-solving abilities, leadership qualities, and adaptability. These skills can often be developed through various life experiences, not just formal work roles. For instance, involvement in community projects, sports teams, or volunteer work can all contribute to your skill set. So, when considering your value as a potential employee, don’t just focus on your technical skills. Think about the broader range of skills and experiences you can offer and how these could benefit a potential employer.
Consider job conditions
The conditions under which you work can have a significant impact on your job satisfaction.
This includes factors like the hours you work, whether you can work remotely, the culture of the workplace, and the level of job security. For example, you might have the skills to work in a high-pressure corporate environment, but if you value work-life balance, this might not be the right fit for you. Similarly, you might be technically qualified for a job that requires a lot of travel, but if you prefer to stay close to home, you might not be very happy. When considering a job, make sure to take into account the working conditions and think about whether they align with your lifestyle and personal preferences.
Communicate your expectations
Clear communication is key in the job market. If you know what you’re looking for in a job, don’t be afraid to express this to potential employers. This could be during the application process, in an interview, or once you’re in the job. For example, if you value opportunities for professional development, make this clear. If flexible working hours are important to you, let them know. By being open about your expectations, you can help to reduce the mismatch between what employers offer and what employees are looking for. Remember, it’s not just about finding a job – it’s about finding the right job for you.
Remember, the skills gap is often less about a lack of skills among job seekers, and more about a mismatch between what employers offer and what employees are looking for. By understanding this, you can better navigate the job market and find roles that are a good fit for you.

Work Experience
Finding Work Experience for Students with a Disability
We all know the power work experience can have for young people when they’re considering future career options. And while placements can be tricky to come by, for students with a disability, the barriers are even higher. But this shouldn’t discourage you from trying to find work experience; there are plenty of reasons why you should, and lots of employers who are willing to work with you. In this blog, we’ll take a look at the importance of work experience, and how students with a disability can find options suitable for them. Let’s get started.
Why is work experience important?
There are a number of reasons why you might like to try work experience, including:
For young people with a disability, finding work experience is even more important. In Australia, only 53.4% of people with a disability aged 15–64 years are engaged in the workforce (compared to 84.1% of people without a disability).
By engaging in work experience while you’re still at school, you can be better equipped to enter the workforce with the skills and knowledge employers are looking for.
What to consider when searching for work experience
Individual considerations and needs when looking for work experience placements will vary from person to person. People with physical disabilities will need to look at things like building and facility access, while a student who is deaf might need assistance with interpreting. You know your own needs better than anybody else, so take these into account when looking for work experience.
When looking at specific employers, you might also like to do a bit of extra research about them to see if they might be a good fit. Do they currently employ other people with a disability? Have they implemented a Disability Action Plan or Accessibility and Inclusion Plan? Can you read reviews or talk to current and former employees about the workplace’s culture and values?
Finding work experience for students with a disability
Your school is usually your first point of contact when searching for work experience. Talk to your careers advisor and see if they can assist you in finding a placement.
If you have a Disability Employment Services (DES) provider, they can also assist with finding work experience appropriate for your needs.
You might also like to engage in a local program like Ticket to Work, which includes career development and employment pathway support (you can also listen to their podcast exploring the world of work for young people with a disability).
If you see an opportunity online that looks interesting, you can always get in touch with the company and ask if they can support you.
And don’t forget about the power of family and friends. They can help you search for opportunities, or might be able to offer something that’s perfect for you.

MSC Letter Writing Project – Competition

In their letters, students may like to:
Students are highly encouraged to include drawings, paintings, or other creative expressions!

All participating students will be entered into a random prize draw to win a $50 ALDI gift card.
One entry will be given per student letter.

Supporting Refugee Friends in High School
Did you know there are over 11,000 refugee students currently in public schools in New South Wales alone? Being a supportive friend can make a world of difference to someone who has experienced the challenges of displacement and starting anew. In this blog, we’ll explore some simple yet impactful ways you can lend your support. So, let’s dive in.
Show empathy and listen
When it comes to supporting your refugee friends, empathy is key. Put yourself in their shoes and try to understand the unique struggles they may be facing. Offer a listening ear and create a safe space for them to share their experiences. Sometimes, all they need is someone who genuinely cares and is willing to listen without judgment.
Learn about their culture
One fantastic way to show support is by taking an interest in your friend’s culture. Ask questions, explore their customs, traditions, and celebrations. This not only helps you develop a deeper understanding of their background but also shows your friend that you value their heritage. You might even discover some incredible similarities or shared interests along the way.
Offer language assistance
Language barriers can be daunting for refugees, especially in an academic setting. If your friend is still learning the local language, you can offer your help. Simple gestures like explaining unfamiliar words, practising conversations, or even recommending language-learning resources can make a significant impact. Your support can boost their confidence and help them navigate their new environment more comfortably.
Include them in social activities
High school isn’t just about academics; it’s also a time for building friendships and creating memories. Including your refugee friend in social activities can help them feel more connected and integrated. Invite them to hang out with your friend group, participate in extracurricular activities together, or attend school events. Your inclusion and acceptance can make a world of difference in their overall wellbeing.
Be a peer mentor
As a high school student, you possess unique skills and knowledge that can be of immense help to your refugee friend. Offer your assistance as a peer mentor, helping them navigate the ins and outs of the education system, offering study tips, and providing guidance on coursework.
By sharing your knowledge and supporting their academic journey, you’re empowering them to thrive in their new school environment.
Advocate for inclusivity
Advocacy is a powerful tool for change. Speak up for inclusivity and support initiatives that promote diversity within your school community. Collaborate with student groups, organise cultural events, or initiate conversations about refugee rights and integration. By taking a stand, you’re actively fostering an environment of acceptance and understanding.
Connect them with resources
There are various organisations and resources available that specifically assist refugees in their integration process. Take the time to research local organisations and programs that can provide support to your friend. Share this information with them, helping them access valuable resources such as language classes, counselling services, or mentorship programs. Your effort in connecting them to these resources can make a tremendous difference in their lives.
Remember, the little acts of kindness and support you offer can have a profound impact on a person’s wellbeing and sense of belonging. By embracing empathy, promoting inclusivity, and being a supportive friend, you can make a positive difference in their life.
