The Australian Scholarships Foundation – ASF – is the only Australian organisation solely focused on funding and facilitating scholarships for Australian not-for-profit (NFP) directors and staff to undertake education, training and mentoring programs that improve their ability to lead and manage their organisations.

ASF is a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) and Australian charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ABN 83 420 919 581).

ASF works with a number of universities, education providers and supporters to access and make scholarships available in a growing range of leadership and management training programs. These include postgraduate university diplomas, certificate and degree courses, short management and other training programs and specialised mentoring services. Disciplines covered include leadership, finance, accounting and risk management, board governance, strategic planning, project management, marketing and social networking. 

ASF does not provide any education and training programs in its own right, although it works with education providers and private companies to deliver specific programs that meet NFP needs.

Full details, application forms and terms and conditions of current scholarships can be viewed at Open Scholarships and Frequently Asked Questions.

ASF is a proud member of Philanthropy Australia.

McKinsey Academy Young Leaders Forum Scholarships 2021

Scholarships for Emerging NFP Leaders

Applications close 8 December

Young Leaders Forum

We're looking for emerging NFP leaders to join likeminded peers for a learning opportunity of a lifetime at McKinsey Academy's Young Leaders Forum in either June or August 2021.

The Young Leaders Program (YLF) is a foundational leadership program designed to accelerate the development of emerging leaders and provide participants with the necessary skills, ways of thinking, and insights to become a better leader in a world of disruptive change.

YLF is designed to benefit emerging high potential future leaders with typically 7-12 years of work experience, who are ready to further their leadership skills. The program helps emerging leaders to lead themselves and their teams more effectively by focusing on experiential learning with group discussions and equipping them with foundational leadership skills.

CEOs of small NFPs, social enterprises or start-ups may also find the course beneficial, as they start to build their organisations and manage people.

Applicants Australia-wide are welcome to apply.

AICD NFP Governance Scholarships 2020-21

AICD and ASF


130 AICD Governance Scholarships for NFPs Australia-wide

Applications close 12 November

AICD Scholarships

In partnership with the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD), ASF are pleased to announce 130 governance education scholarships for not-for-profits across Australia in 2020/21!

In the face of increasing complexity and demand on not-for-profits, good governance has never been more important for the not-for-profit sector. The AICD scholarship program will enable leaders of small NFP organisations (with a turnover of less than $2m) in each state and territory to develop their skills and capabilities to be the leaders of the future.

The scholarships will allow board directors, the executives who report to them, and those who aspire to join a NFP board in the near future to attend the AICD's highly regarded Governance Foundations for Not-for-Profit Directors course between February and June 2021.

Each scholarship covers 100% of the program fees and will be offered to non-executive directors and senior executives of NFP organisations who would otherwise be unable to attend governance education programs due to the financial constraints of the organisation.
