At Edified, we believe education can transform lives. We also believe that powerful change can be led by individuals with passion and commitment. That’s why, we created the Edified Energiser Grants (EEGs) to energise people working to improve education around the world.
EEGs are worth AU $5,000 each and are awarded to individuals or groups with a compelling plan to improve education for their community. The plan could be small, like becoming a teacher in your community. It could be a grand plan, like creating a new EdTech platform to bring free education to the world. Or anything in between.
What’s important is that the plan is compelling and that the grant applicants have the vision and capability to make it happen. Take a look at the previous winners:
This year we are offering five grants!
We’re grateful to the following organisations that have joined us in making the Edified Energiser Grants possible:
EEGs are open to students or recent graduates from an Australian, New Zealand, UK, Canadian, Irish or European Higher Education, Vocational or Language institution. These regions were chosen because that's where our clients are.
This includes both domestic and international students of any nationality and from any study mode, including part-time, online and offshore campuses. The project can be delivered in any country in the world.
For further information and the application form, visit EEGs website:
