The program supports post-secondary international students - those studying at universities, vocational colleges and other registered training organisations in Victoria.
Two funding categories
The ISW Program is divided into two funding categories. Student groups and associations and other organisations may be eligible to apply for funding under either or both of the categories.
Category 1 International Student Group Activities
Category 1 International Student Group Activities, provides funding to student groups or associations to deliver low cost activities.
Funding: Up to $5,000 to help student groups deliver activities that support the wellbeing of international students.
The next round of Category 1 applications will be in the first half of 2018.
Category 2 Wellbeing Partnership Activities
Category 2 Wellbeing Partnership Activities provides funding for larger activities involving two or more organisations working in partnership to deliver the activity.
Funding: Up to $75,000 for partnerships of two or more organisations to deliver activities that support the wellbeing of international students. Applicants will be expected to contribute a minimum contribution matched to the level of the grant.
Applications for Category 1 and 2 will open later in 2018. To be notified of future application rounds, email studymelbourne@ecodev.vic.gov.au
