Empowering Potential
Empowering potential
in youth.
The Sliding Doors Foundation provides educational scholarships, mentoring, work experience and networking support for young people from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds to empower them to reach their potential and help them, not just succeed, but to thrive.
We’re dedicated to delivering life-changing ‘sliding door’ opportunities to young people who show leadership potential but find themselves behind locked doors. We do this by providing financial support with scholarships for secondary, tertiary, and trade apprenticeships.
School Scholarships
Existing students attending a private College, or primary aged students entering secondary school, who demonstrate a community orientated nature and show leadership potential but are constrained due to financial or social hardship, are encouraged to apply.
University Scholarships
Recent school leavers who have achieved excellence in leadership or are community orientated but due to financial or social hardship are unable to proceed to university, are encouraged to apply.
Other Scholarships
Recently completed or partially completed secondary school aged young people who have displayed examples of teamwork, volunteering or getting involved in community activities, have participated in leadership programs and wish to apply for vocational education but due to financial or social hardship are unable to, are encouraged to apply.
Applications for 2024 scholarships are now open.
