VCE Summer School does have some funds set aside for bursaries for both the day and residential program, however that number is limited. You should still apply to us but before applying directly to us have you thought about the following:
1. Rotary Clubs
Rotary clubs have funds set aside for youth scholarships and are usually more than happy to help young people across Australia, below is a link that lists all the rotary clubs that are in Victoria. The best way to contact them is via phone, explain why you are calling and if they are willing to sponsor you to come to the program.
If there is not a rotary in your area, try the next area closest to you.

2. Your Local Council
Your council could be a source of help as well, just call them up and explain what you are looking for and they should put you through to the right people. Councils with a youth department usually have funds set aside for scholarships and awards.
3. Local businesses
This is a tricky one but you never know, try going into your local supermarket – ask for the manager and see if they are able to help you with your cause to come to VCE Summer School.
If you need assistance in contacting any of the above, do not hesitate to call or email us on 8344 8204 or summerschool@union.unimelb.edu.au
