Overview:
The Variety Heart Scholarship Program supports children who are gifted and have an existing talent waiting to be realised, who are disadvantaged or living with a disability, to achieve their full potential and to follow their dreams.
Applications can only be accepted for children between the ages of 8 to 18 and who are Tasmanian residents. Scholarships are awarded to support children in the areas of the arts, academics and sports. Scholarships are awarded on a yearly basis and must be spent within 12 months. Scholarships are capped at $5,000 per year, per application. Depending on the level of progress, scholarships may be renewed with a new application and supporting documentation submitted each year.
Some examples of scholarship applications:
The Arts: Singing or dance lessons, art tuition, art materials and supplies, exhibition or competition entry fees, costumes, acting and theatre.
Sports: Equipment, clothing, shoes, entry, membership or registration fees, coaching fees, travel to competitions or training.
Academics: Participation in specialist extension programs such as coding, robotics, e-game development.
If you have any questions, please call us on 03 6248 4888 or email info@varietytas.org.au
Process:
Each Scholarship application is considered by the Variety Grants Committee. Successful recipients will be notified of approval by email within 6 weeks from submission.
This detailed application process helps to ensure the Scholarship grants are distributed appropriately and based on the level of talent in need of support.
Variety - the Children's Charity Tasmania would like to share in the celebrations, as our scholarship recipients achieve milestones and receive recognition. Our expectation is that families will contact us to advise of these significant achievements.
The Variety Heart Scholarship is made possible because of the generous support of the Graham Mapp Family Foundation who contribute $25k annually.
