Grants to Tertiary Institutions
Tertiary Scholarship And Award Program
The Invergowrie Foundation offers a range of scholarships and awards to encourage girls and women who are studying in specific tertiary programs and/ or working within Victoria, acknowledging excellence and supporting those who have not had the opportunities to reach their potential. Such scholarships and awards assist many girls and women, particularly those from regional and/ or rural Victoria, by subsidizing the costs of undertaking higher education and furthering their careers.
Enquiries about these scholarships should be made directly to the corresponding university or college. Follow the links below for more information.
