First Foundation Scholarship for Year 12 Students
We wanted to give you a heads up that the Scholarship applications with First
Foundation will be opening soon. Can you connect us with these future change
makers? We want to hear from your year 12 students who meet
our criteria.
We have a few enhancements.
- As in previous years, we are breaking the application down
into smaller parts and only asking for the necessary information at each
stage. This will mean less work for schools until the odds of being
successful increase. - We’ve also partnered with CareerEQ and Amp’d Careers to support your
students understand themselves and how to help you make a good career or
study decisions. This will help them super-chareg their cover letter.
The Application (see stage
details)
Stage 1

Expression of Interest. Simple questions to assess students eligibility. This
