Education Sponsorship
Baw Baw Shire Council’s Education Sponsorship aims to encourage students in Year 9 and over (or aged between 15 -21 years) in their preferred education pathway by supporting local education providers with an opportunity to recognise and acknowledge attributes and effort.
Education Sponsorship is a stream of Council’s Community Financial Assistance Program that supports local secondary- and pathway-education providers to recognise and financially award students who meet the eligibility criteria. Council’s operating budget includes $4,500 for the Education Sponsorship Program.
