GO Scholarship benefits

CULTURAL AND ASPIRATIONAL SUPPORT

GO places culture at the heart of everything we do.

GO Students have opportunities to learn more about their own culture and identity with other Indigenous young people through our Culture Connect Days, Primary school program and Alumni network.  

Our Primary school program has a focus on supporting our year 5 and 6 students to transition from primary to high school and encourage them to complete higher education.

Access and opportunities

Our partners provide access to jobs, internships, work experience and career information sessions. Also, a number of our partners give opportunities to our students that they may not otherwise be able to engage with, including tickets to sporting and cultural events and access to internet services.

Financial support

GO scholarships help with the costs of educational needs such as uniform, excursions, tutoring and equipment for school, including:

  • laptops, iPads and school devices
  • stationery
  • backpacks
  • textbooks
  • home WiFi for homework.

Due to our focus on education, GO students cannot use scholarship funds for school fees, sporting equipment or sportswear, driving lessons or entertainment.

ONGOING SUPPORT

GO’s Team of dedicated Scholarship Program Managers visit schools each term to check in with students. These regular visits provide tailored guidance, encouragement, and help students stay on track throughout their education journey.

They’re available to Indigenous students in primary and high school, and university.
