Greening Australia

Our Vision: Healthy, productive landscapes where people and nature thrive.

Greening Australia is an environmental enterprise that thinks big to tackle the challenges facing Australia’s unique and diverse landscapes in ways that work for communities, economies and nature.

Greening Australia started conserving and restoring Australia’s landscapes in 1982 and we haven’t stopped since. We work to solve bold and complex environmental problems through conservation on a massive scale, with programs and projects spanning the breadth of the country and protecting hundreds of native species.

We aim to bring life to landscapes and restore balance to the natural environment in significant areas across Australia, from the warm waters of the Great Barrier Reef to the cool island ark of Tasmania.

Application and Selection Process

Applicants must provide a statement supporting their application indicating how they believe receiving the scholarship will assist them with their studies and future careers. This statement should give a sufficient explanation of the applicant's background and current circumstances to enable the University to judge their eligibility, need and merit.

Successful applicants will be selected based on their written application, academic potential, ability to meet the criteria, and, where appropriate, performance in an interview before a selection panel.

In addition, applicants must demonstrate the rationale for seeking an equity-based scholarship (including but not limited to socio-economic challenges).
