Griffith

Country Education Foundation of Griffith | NSW

The CEF Griffith was established to provide much needed financial assistance and support to local youth to help them achieve their post high school education, training and vocation aspirations. We recognise that the cost of rural students pursuing their post high school goals is often much greater than those of their metropolitan counterparts and that sometimes these costs can be prohibitive.

With this in mind, the CEF Griffith fundraises throughout the year and accepts donations from local residents and businesses in order to provide financial grants to students who need an extra helping hand. The funds come directly from your local community – none of it is government funded – celebrating the aspirations of local youth and working to help them achieve these aspirations. It’s our way of saying “we believe in you and want to support your goals”.

Additional Grants

CICL Grant Latta Bonded Scholarship – courtesy of CICL

Coleambally Cooperative Ltd (CICL) in conjunction with the Country Education Foundation of Coleambally-Darlington Point is offering scholarships for students studying Agriculture, Engineering or Information Technology in 2024 who have lived or went to school in Coleambally, Darlington Point, Griffith, Leeton, Narrandera, Yanco, Jerilderie, Finley, Hay or Hillston. The students need not necessarily be in the first year of their course.

Closing date 24th November, 2023. More info here.

For further information, please contact Penny Sheppard 0269549157 or [email protected].

We support a diverse range of education and career pursuits including apprenticeships, traineeships, cadetships, degrees, diplomas and certificate level studies or entry careers. We do not provide cash grants directly to the recipients – the local foundation reimburses the student for a pre-agreed expense or pays the goods and services providers directly.

Grants are available to local youth who have lived and/or attended school in the region for the majority of their high school years. Your local CEF does not focus on applicant’s academic success. The four essential selection criteria are:

  • That you have demonstrated need;
  • You are aged 16-25 years;
  • That you have gone to school or currently reside in the region covered by your CEF; and
  • That you have shown commitment to achieving your goal.

If you satisfy the criteria and would like to apply for a grant, please complete the online application form. Applicants will be required to attend a panel interview whereupon their outcome of their submission will be notified in writing.
