Scholarships for Young People
At Women’s Circus, we believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to joining the circus.
Thanks to support from the Australia Post 2026 People of Post Grants program, we have a limited number of full and partial scholarships for children and young people aged 2 to 18 in Melbourne’s western suburbs. Scholarships go towards Term 3 and Term 4 fees, so more young people can take part in the programs they want to join.
Who can apply
You can apply if the young person:
- is aged 2 to 18 (Tiny Tots and Kids of all genders, Teens of marginalised genders)
- lives, studies, or regularly spends time in Melbourne’s western suburbs
- would like to enrol in a Term 3 or Term 4 young people’s class
- comes from a family who would find our fees a stretch
We especially welcome applications from First Nations families, single-parent and kinship care families, families on low incomes or income support, families with disability or chronic illness, migrant and refugee communities, and LGBTQIA+ young people and families.
Previous scholarship recipients are welcome to apply.
How to apply
The application is short, confidential, and non-judgmental. You don’t need to upload any financial documents. Just tell us briefly what you need.
If online forms are tricky, get in touch at info@womenscircus.org.au or (03) 9687 3665 and we’ll help you apply.
Scholarships are limited and applied as a discount on term fees, not as a cash payment.
This project is supported by the Australia Post People of Post Grants program.
