The ALT Educational Scholarship Program is funded by the Aboriginal Languages Trust to support eligible Aboriginal individuals undertake training or education related to learning and teaching Aboriginal Language for the benefit of their Communities, as well as for Aboriginal Languages across NSW more broadly.

The purpose of the ALT Educational Scholarship Program is to: 

  • support Aboriginal individuals undertake their Languages training and education to grow the number of Aboriginal Languages speakers, educators and teachers across NSW Communities
  • undertake research to strengthen the use and practice of Aboriginal Languages within NSW Aboriginal Communities, whilst valuing Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing and ensuring Community has sovereignty over Language research outcomes.

Applications can be submitted online through SmartyGrants while funds are available.
