Tips for Applicants
Applications open annually in Term 3 (typically July-September). You must be an Indigenous student living in Sydney, Adelaide, or Canberra—GO does not support regional, remote, or boarding school students. Selection prioritises school attendance, aspiration, cultural identity, community contribution, and financial need over academic marks. The 94% of scholarships support public school students. Applications require involvement from a parent/guardian and teacher. Scholarships are two-year cycles, so students apply at specific year levels depending on the program. Contact the Scholarships Team directly if you attend an independent school or have special circumstances.
Giving Philosophy
GO Foundation believes 'Strength in Culture' is central to empowering Indigenous students. Their holistic approach places Indigenous identity and culture at the heart of everything, viewing scholarships as more than financial assistance—they provide cultural connection days, aspirational mentoring, career opportunities through partner networks, and ongoing case management. They focus on keeping Indigenous students engaged with education through key transition stages (primary to high school, high school to further education/employment) rather than just academic performance.
