About the scholarship
Are you currently studying at a university or polytechnic towards a property- or construction-related degree?
We have a range of scholarships on offer for tertiary students who are part-way through their degree, particularly those whose paths are being blocked by financial challenges or difficult circumstances.
If you’re awarded a tertiary scholarship, you’ll receive one year’s financial assistance and mentoring, as well as invites to regular networking events, incredible work experience opportunities and more.
Our Scholarships provide:
- A $5,500 scholarship (paid tax free into their bank account for educational purposes)
- An industry mentor to support their learning
- Access to industry engagement opportunities including social events and site visits
- Pastoral support
- Joining a cohort of students from all around the country studying towards a career in the sectors
Dependent on eligibility criteria, students can apply for more than one scholarship.
How To Apply
1. Decide which scholarship(s) you’ll apply for
As soon as applications open, read through the criteria for each scholarship and decide which scholarship(s) you’ll apply for. Students often apply for more than one scholarship – you may apply for up to 5 scholarships as long as you’re eligible for each one.
2. Get prepared
Read through the application form for each scholarship you’re applying for to get a good understanding of the information and supporting documents you’ll need to submit. All supporting documents should be submitted with your application.
3. Start your application early
The application form can be saved, so we’d suggest that you start working on your applications sooner rather than later, coming back to them as needed. Don’t leave it until the last minute!
4. Get a second pair of eyes
Once you’ve completed the application form(s), ask a trusted family member, teacher or careers advisor to review your application.
5. Hit the submit button
Make any finishing touches needed, submit your application and give yourself a big pat on the back. You’ve taken the first step!
6. Attend an interview
If you’ve made it onto the shortlist, we’ll be in touch to arrange an interview (either in person or via Zoom) so we can get to know you and answer any questions you have.
7. Receive your scholarship
If you’re awarded a scholarship, you’ll be invited to our Awards Evening, where we’ll hand out your certificate. Welcome to the Keystone Trust family!
