Study NSW Sponsorship Program

Driving engagement in the international education sector

The Study NSW Sponsorship Program receives applications through an annual expression of interest process.

This program contributes to the resilience and sustainability of the NSW international education sector.  It ensures NSW continues to be a world leader in international education by leveraging our strengths as a state. 

Events funded through this program support Study NSW core functions: 

• enhance the experience of international students
• deliver promotion and marketing for NSW as a study destination
• foster international market opportunities
• advance NSW interests and competitiveness through policy and advocacy.

Expression of Interest Guidelines 

Prior to submitting an application, please read the 2024-25 Sponsorship GuidelinesDownload File  . 

Funding 

Funding is provided on an annual basis. The minimum amount is $5,000 (ex GST) and the maximum amount is $30,000 (ex GST).

Proposals may be part-funded if there is insufficient funding available for the whole proposal or where only a component of the proposal is considered suitable or eligible.

Study NSW may fund events and conferences that are valued at over $30,000 (ex GST) on an ad hoc basis. These would also be evaluated via the assessment criteria and follow the same process.

Funding for these activities would be separate from the allocation for the general sponsorship funding pool.

Applicants are required to provide a financial acquittal (such as an event budget) with a final report following the sponsorship activity, demonstrating that funds were used in accordance with the Process guidelines.
