2024 applications are now closed
In partnership with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service (ATSICHS) Brisbane, we have launched nominations for the Young, Black and Proud Scholarship for 2024. This program supports and celebrates the talents and strengths of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and helps them to reach their full potential.
This year is the first time in the program’s history that applications will be open to all young Queenslanders, 25 years and younger. Applications can be made across the areas of education and training, the arts, and sports. Scholarships are available for $1000, $2000 and $5000.
