Fort Street Foundation Tertiary Bursary Application

The Ashford Sister's Tertiary Bursaries seek to support motivated individuals with demonstrated merit, who are facing financial hardship.

The bursaries provide financial assistance to Fortians completing Year 12 who intend to continue studying either at University, Private Institution or TAFE after finishing their HSC. The bursaries assist with the transition into and progress through post-school education e.g. University bachelor degrees, Private Institution bachelor degree, TAFE accredited apprenticeship or a TAFE Advanced Diploma.

About the Bursary

Each bursary offered consists of an annual payment of up to $3,000 provided at the commencement of each academic year, up to a maximum of 3 years. For students relocating from Sydney, an additional one-off payment of up to $2,000 may be provided to assist with initial relocation expenses. The value of the bursary offered to successful students will be based on their personal circumstances and choice of post-school education.
