These grants are available for 16-25 year-olds who either live in post codes 2706 or 2707, or attended Coleambally Central School.
There must be a demonstrated need for the grant, as well as a demonstrated commitment to their goals.

“It can be used for accommodation, uniform, placements, books, technology - there’s lots of things it can be used on.”
