NAFEA 2027 SCHOLARSHIPS
Are you planning a rural or remote placement in the first half of 2026? We know that relocation isn't just a logistical challenge—it’s a financial one. The NAFEA Equity Rural Placement Scholarship is back for 2027 to help bridge that gap.
- The Support: Up to $2,000 to assist with travel and accommodation.
- The Goal: To support students facing financial hardship in reaching regional communities.
- The Fine Print: This is a competitive process. Ensure your university is a NAFEA member and your placement meets the remoteness criteria.
2026 applications have closed.
2027 Round 1 applications will open 1 February 2027.
Apply here: nafea.org.au/scholarships/
Don’t let the cost of travel stand between you and an incredible rural experience. Get your application ready!
Supporting the next generation of Indigenous professionals.
NAFEA is proud to continue our Indigenous Equity Rural Placement Scholarship, specifically designed for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students going on placement.
Rural and remote placements offer invaluable experience, but the "out-of-pocket" costs should not be a barrier to your success. If you are undertaking a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) placement in 2026 that requires you to relocate more than 100km from home, NAFEA wants to assist you.
- Funding: Up to $2,000 for direct relocation and living costs.
- Eligibility: Open to students at NAFEA institutional member universities.
- Requirement: Applicants will need to provide proof of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander identity.
2026 applications have closed.
2027 Round 1 applications will open 1 February 2027.
