The Smith Family "Learning for Life" Scholarship

The Foundation continues to fund an undergraduate student through this program. The scheme is designed to provide access to tertiary and post-secondary education for economically disadvantaged students in South Australia, as well as a mentoring scheme to assist them with their study progress.

The cost to sponsor one undergraduate tertiary or further education student is $2,000 per year, with a total commitment of $6,000 for three-year ordinary degree

PhD Scholarships

Thanks to a generous grant from the Government of South Australia, the Foundation was able to fund two, one off PhD scholarships. Currently, the Foundation is not in a position to provide further such funds, as the annual stipend for a full-time PhD scholar is approximately $20,000, making the commitment for a three-year scholarship in the order of $60,000.
