Other Financial Assistance

The Country Education Foundtion of Australia (CEFA) has an ever-increasing number of Education Partnerships with post high/secondary school education institutions. Our Education Partners are committed to working with CEFA to assist more young people from rural Australia access tertiary education.

Each of our Education Partners offers generous additional financial assistance to recipients of a CEFA community grant who go on to study at a partner institution. To learn more about CEFA's Education Partners and what they offer, visit the Education Partners page.

To be eligible for Education Partner support, you must be a CEFA community grant recipient and be a full-time undergraduate student studying with one of our Education Partners. Some Education Partners offer assistance to first year students only, while others offer assistance to students in second, third and fourth year studies.

The value of the additional financial assistance provided by a CEFA Education Partner can range from a $500 text book voucher to a dollar for dollar match of the grant received from your local education foundation. This dollar for dollar match means that a $1,500 local grant could become $3,000 once the Education Partner's additional grant is factored in.

This additional assistance our Education Partners provide helps greatly with the initial transition costs of moving away from rural communities to access post high school education.
