YOUTH OFF
THE STREETS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Youth Off The Streets is a non-profit organisation working with young
people challenged by issues of homelessness, marginalisation, drug and alcohol
addiction and mental and/or physical abuse. We
believe all young people in Australia should be given the opportunity to
achieve their best. Unfortunately, some young people face barriers that prevent
them from furthering their dreams & reaching their goals. Youth Off The Streets
aim to break down some of these barriers, by offering financial and personal assistance
to young people who have determination, aptitude and skill in a chosen field or
pathway and give them the assistance and support that they need to achieve
success.
The
Scholarship Program has expanded since its inaugural year in 2004 when 10
scholarships were offered to young people in NSW. In 2008, we aim to
provide 20 scholarships of $5,000 to young people throughout Australia.
Nominations for the Youth Off The
Streets Scholarship Program are not restricted to a specific study or training
path. Nominations are invited from young people with genuine talent, ability
and determination in any field, including (but not limited to):
education and training; visual or performing arts; sport; trade skills; and
music. The wide-ranging goals pursued by the scholarship recipients will
encourage other disadvantaged young people to follow their dreams.
Scholarship funds can also be used for support costs such as
equipment, uniform, textbooks, stationery and some living expenses to ensure
that the scholarship recipients have every possible opportunity to reach their
goals.
Nominations are now being taken and more information, including
the nomination form and nomination conditions are available on the Youth Off
The Streets website www.youthoffthestreets.com.au.
The closing date for nominations is May 9th 2008.
