Supporting Aboriginal Students
We’re proud to share that the Eddie Betts Foundation has been formally recognised as a third-party scholarship provider for the purposes of ABSTUDY.
This important recognition follows an extensive selection and approval process, reflecting the strength and integrity of our work in supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
Through this status, we are able to provide additional support that helps Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students access educational opportunities more easily and confidently.
Students who are awarded scholarships through the Eddie Betts Foundation are selected via a rigorous process through our academies, with a strong focus on personal development, cultural identity, education pathways, and family engagement.
We’re committed to walking alongside young people and their families, supporting them to thrive in both school and life.

Pathways to Success
Critical to success is the provision of dedicated numeracy and literacy support to each young person – starting with full consultation with the student on their individual needs to design a tailored program.
Students are then supported with a combination of regular curriculum and Vocational Education and Training (VET) subjects (where appropriate), along with practical qualifications and certificates to support employment.
For Foundation Academy members, a youth worker is assigned to each young person, with the youth worker working closely to support educational outcomes.
This ensures that the educational programs and resources are fully aligned with each student’s individual needs.
