The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW Foundation (RASF) is calling for applications for VET Scholarships. VET Scholarships aim to support students in NSW who demonstrate a passion for rural life and commitment for any career that will ensure the future success of rural and regional NSW.

There is no limit on the types of courses that qualify and you could be studying a range of courses including Wool Classing, Food Science, Boilermaking, Farming and Nursing, through TAFE and other registered providers.

You could be studying at a registered VET (Vocational Education and Training) institution e.g. College or TAFE courses, on campus or by distance learning. All applicants will have one thing in common – a desire to play an active part in the future of rural NSW.

Applicants for a VET Scholarship must:
• Be enrolled in or applying for study in any accredited VET (Vocational Education and Training) course at an approved Australian education provided
• Demonstrate a desire to contribute to the future of rural NSW
• Demonstrate how a scholarship would assist them in achieving their education or training goal
• Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
Note: Students completing school-based apprenticeships and traineeships are not eligible to apply. Applicants must be school leavers having completed a minimum of year 10.

Scholarships of $6,000 for full-time study and $3,000 for part-time study are available.

Applications close Sunday 19 January 2020.
