Commonwealth Teaching Scholarships (CTS) Grant Opportunity Guidelines

Overview

School leavers and career changers who enrol full-time in initial teacher education (ITE) programs commencing in the first semester/study period of 2025 may be eligible for up to $40,000 from the Australian Government to support them in their studies. The Commonwealth Teaching Scholarships Program aims to attract more high-achieving and diverse candidates into teaching by supporting new undergraduate and postgraduate ITE students to meet the costs of their study in exchange for teaching in government schools or government-run early learning settings for a time equivalent to the length of their ITE program. Up to 1,000 scholarships per year will be offered over five years between 2024 – 2028. Applications open on 25 November 2024. Apply using the online form at education.gov.au/teaching-scholarships
