Purple Bush Medicine Leaves Bursary Program 2025 Closes 30 June

APPLY TODAY – CLOSES 30 June 2025

Last year, four bursaries of $1250 were awarded, and in 2025 the bursary amount has been increased to $1500 in line with cost of living pressures, and made possible due to the generosity of our major donors, and supporters.

Over the next few weeks, in the lead up to the announcement of this year’s recipients, we will profile the achievement and aspirations of four recipients from 2024

 

To Apply

Please apply by Monday 30 June 2025 using the on-line portal or by downloading the application form then emailing the completed form with personal statement to [email protected]

After they are announced during NAIDOC Week (7-13 July 2025), the Bursary recipients will be profiled in our AFMW eBulletin and on our website.
