Apply

We have a new application process for the 2023 Accelerate Scholarship Program 

The ABCN Scholarship Foundation has introduced a new three-step application process for Accelerate Scholarships in 2023.

The main difference from our previous application process is that students must now be nominated by their Principal or School as a first step of the application process.

Students cannot apply without being nominated by their Principal or School. The new process is outlined below and highlighted in the video above. 

 

‘ABCN’s ability to scale their highly valued and sought after Accelerate program has excellent potential working in partnership with its member companies and schools in both regional and metropolitan areas.’  Tim Lloyd, Principal of Plumpton High School

Important Dates for 2023

Applications Open – Monday 19 June

Applications Close – Friday 25 August @5pm

Principal’s Notified of Outcomes – Friday 3 November

Download our 2023 Application Guidelines

Please Download our ABCN Accelerate Application Guide 2023 prior to beginning the application process.

If your school has not applied before and has not received the link to the nomination form or you have any questions about the updated three-step application process for the 2023 ABCN Accelerate Scholarship, please contact Linda Harkin, Program and Administration Coordinator at linda.harkin@abcn.com.au
