Funding assistance

We’re helping young people access funding to use the Duke of Ed Framework

Funding support is available for individuals and groups

Our funding assistance is possible thanks to the generous support we receive from the Australian Federal Government, our Award Ambassadors, and our many other Supporters.

Individuals and Group Funding

Duke of Ed Leaders can apply on behalf of individuals or groups experiencing hardship and requiring financial assistance to use the Duke of Ed Framework. The funding seeks to partially or fully cover expenses, such as registration fees and other costs associated with completing a Duke of Ed Level, depending on the situation of the applicant(s).

Applications for individuals experiencing hardship are open all year round.

“ The Duke of Ed had generously granted the school funds to assist in the financial side of things. I WAS SO OVER THE MOON! And now having completed my Bronze Level, I can confidently express that this adventure was indeed a journey of a lifetime. It has helped me create meaningful friendships with my younger peers (which is outstanding as now I am school captain), it has pushed me outside my comfort zone and encouraged my newfound appreciation for hiking and exploring Australia.”

– Sandy, Duke of Ed User.
