How much financial support (or funding) is available for education expenses such as short course or university fees?
There are two streams of funding that SCOPE participants can apply for. 1. Professional Development Fund: this fund can be applied to for short courses and other professional development that contributes to the individual artist’s Career and Education Action plan.* 2. Tertiary Scholarship Fund: this fund can be applied to for tertiary studies that relate to the individual artist’s Career and Education Action plan. The applications will be assessed on a unit by unit basis and up to 75% of an individual unit can be funded (up to two units per semester). Note a further 25% can be claimed as a rebate post successful completion of the unit.* * Note the grant of any such award is not automatic and is subject to an application being successful under the terms of the scholarship.
