That ICPA (Aust) are thanked and supported in their ongoing efforts working with the Minister for Education, Treasury and Prime Minister Cabinet to:
1) Continue and expand the Commonwealth Regional Scholarship Program beyond its pilot.
2) Consistently provide feedback for the review of the Commonwealth Regional Scholarship Program.
Since the initial 2024 pilot, the scholarship program has been dormant, with no commencement date set for further scholarships (there is a review process and members have been notified that this will happened towards the end of the pilot). Continuing the Commonwealth Regional Scholarship Program beyond the pilot stage would provide certainty for families, improve educational access and equity for regional and remote students, and ensure long term support for those who have no viable alternative to boarding schooling.
