What is the AICD NFP scholarship program?

The NFP scholarship program offers 140 places at a range of different courses in 2018-2019. This range of exciting AICD-funded scholarships will enable 20 leaders of small NFP organisations in each state and territory to choose from a range of governance and leadership courses. The NFP scholarship program will give participants the opportunity to develop their skills and capabilities to be the leaders of the future.

Why does the AICD offer these scholarships?

AICD recognises the complexity of the NFP sector with more than 600,000 not-for-profits operating in Australia, and charities alone employing over one million people and contributing in excess of $134 billion to the economy. The not-for-profit sector impacts the lives of millions of Australians, and thus the governance knowledge of its future leaders is of utmost importance. In the face of increasing complexity and demand on not-for-profits, good governance has never been more important for the sector.

Which AICD courses do the scholarships cover?

The course offered under the scholarship differs from state to state. They include but are not limited to: Governance Foundations for Not-for-Profit Directors, The Role of the Not-for-Profit Chair and Reporting to the Board. More information on the offerings in each state and territory can be found on the respective course pages on the ASF website.

Who is eligible?

To be eligible for the scholarships, candidates must be Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents, and be executive employees, directors or potential directors of NFP organisations with a turnover of less than $2 million. The allocation of places will take into account the applicant's commitment to improving their governance knowledge as well as their broader commitment to the NFP sector, and other entry requirements as set out by ASF and AICD for each program. The scholarships are open to both AICD members and non-members.

Full scholarships will be awarded to directors or senior managers of NFP organisations with a turnover below $2 million. In addition, we recognise that some potential future leaders may wish to apply to smaller NFP organisations.
