We acknowledge that your Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage is something that is personal to you and that you do not need a letter of confirmation to identify as an Indigenous person. However, as this scholarship is intended to address Indigenous-specific educational issues, supplying proof of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage will help us make sure that the scholarship is serving its intended purpose.
Proof of this must be supplied in the form of:
A statutory declaration detailing your family heritage, or
A letter of confirmation (from a community organisation or land council)
Open Colleges offers over 100 online courses, including nationally recognised qualifications and TAFE courses online.
