Country Education Fund of Cootamundra
2025 Applications now open (July 1 2024)
The members of the Country Education Fund of Cootamundra are passionate about supporting our local rural youth to succeed, with our mission being to foster further education, career and personal development opportunities through community-based encouragement and assistance.
We support students undertaking apprenticeships, traineeships, cadetships, diploma and certificate level studies, and degree courses.
We provide grants from $500 - $5000 per student per year to provide support with education and career expenses. All our funds are raised locally through generous sponsorships, donations and local fundraising. We receive no government funding or grants. Some universities partner CEF and will match grants. The CEF also plays an important role in mentoring and supporting students to achieve their goals and aspirations.
Cash grants are not provided directly to recipients. We reimburse students for pre-agreed expenses or pay for goods and service directly.
The application addresses the following criteria:
- Demonstrate financial need
- Aged16-25 years

The application is completed online and eligible students are invited to an interview.
