Student Support

Continuing School Scholarships

To assist and encourage the IAES students to continue on and complete Year 12, Engineering Aid Australia offers Continuing School Scholarships when the students return to their High School after attending the IAES. The students, at their discretion, may use the scholarship money for School expenses, books, fees, excursions, Maths equipment or extra coaching.

The supporting teacher nominated on the Application Form will be contacted after the IAES, and upon verification that the student has re-enrolled at school, EAA will send a cheque and certificate to the school to be presented to the student.

The amount will vary depending on the year of study and currently stands at $300 for students who next enter Years 10 or 11 after the IAES and $400 for students who next enter Year 12.
