Introducing the MEGT Foundation Scholarship Program 2027
The MEGT Foundation supports Victorian and South Australian women experiencing disadvantage to re-engage with education and build pathways toward meaningful careers. Through its 12-month scholarship program, the Foundation provides both financial and personal development support to help Scholars pursue their chosen course of study and future employment goals.
Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now open for the MEGT Foundation Scholarship Program commencing in 2027.
Scholarship details
The MEGT Foundation will award 40 scholarships, 20 in Melbourne and 20 in Adelaide, to support women experiencing disadvantage to progress their pathway towards a career through a VET qualification or undergraduate qualification. More than just funding study, we want to see women grow into confident, capable, and resilient people who have control over their own lives and choices.
Our Supporters
Integral to this program are our Scholarship Working Groups in Victoria and South Australia. These groups bring together government, education, community, and industry experts who share our vision. Members include:
- Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR)
- Victoria University
- Skills SA
- Flinders University Student Association
- MEGT’s own People & Culture, Marketing, IT, and Apprentice Connect teams
How you can help
Over the past four years, our scholarship recipients have achieved incredible things – new skills, new careers, and new confidence. Now, as we enter our fifth year, we are asking for your help to reach even more women.
Libraries can provide support by
- Sharing this information with eligible women in Melbourne or Adelaide who plan to study a Certificate, Diploma, or undergraduate degree in 2027, and directing them to the MEGT Foundation website.
- Displaying this poster or postcard in your library
- Encouraging and guiding eligible women to complete their EOI form.
