Every year Study NSW co-funds projects that are delivered in partnership with industry.
Applications for Partner Project grants have now closed and will open again in March 2021.
Study NSW accepts applications from education providers and organisations that have a focus on international education.
We encourage partnership applications from a consortium of providers and/or organisations to ensure benefits reach a broad range of international students.
Funds of up to $110,000 (incl. GST) per project are available for 2020-21. All funds must be matched by industry contribution, including through in-kind contributions.
Partner projects should be strategic, innovative, benefit the international education sector and address gaps not currently being addressed by the sector.
