Breaking down barriers for Australian students
Bendigo and Adelaide Bank is committed to supporting young people through various initiatives, including our annual scholarship program. Each year scholarships are awarded to first year tertiary students studying at an Australian university or college campus for the first time.
Our scholarship program makes a significant difference to these hard working and talented students by helping them cover some of the costs of tertiary education.
Applications for 2019 scholarships are NOW CLOSED.
Successful recipients will be notified in mid-February 2019.
Successful Rural Bank recipients will be notified by late March 2019.
