HELPING TALENTED YOUNG PEOPLE ACHIEVE NEW HEIGHTS
Altitude Scholarships believes all young people deserve the chance to realise their potential. Through modest educational scholarships we can transform young lives and create far reaching opportunities for success.
Altitude Scholarships (Altitude) provides education scholarships of $1,500 p.a. for talented and driven but financially challenged young people across Australia. The funds may be used for specific education-related purposes, which includes laptops, textbooks and music lessons.
A scholarship lasts for the duration of a young person’s education: commencing in senior secondary school and their tertiary studies, until they are employed, subject to annual review.
Financial hardship is a filter for eligibility but is not the basis for Altitude’s unapologetically merit-based scholarship.
There are currently over 70 recipients supported in Newstead, Hellyer and Hobart in Tasmania, Sydney, Wagga Wagga, and Caloundra as well as in Noosa.
“Connectivity is vital for our children to identify, and reach their individual and community aspirations. Connectivity to opportunities, mentoring, resources and ongoing support, as well the energy and inspiration these bring. Altitude Scholarships is a welcomed element for that connectivity to become a reality for many, taking the chance out of realising one’s potential!”
