Scholarships

Here at the Dylan Alcott Foundation, we believe in equal opportunities for all individuals, including the chance to pursue tertiary education.


In partnership with leading universities across the country, our mission is to continue growing scholarship opportunities for young Australians living with disability, so they can thrive in their studies and beyond.


You can learn more about our successful scholarship recipients below.


“We [Dylan Alcott Foundation] believe in the transformative power of education and mentorship. Our hope is to create lasting change, where the students we support feel as though they have the backing and mentorship to succeed. We want to give students the best chance to enjoy their studies, be social and enjoy the full university experience.” – Dylan Alcott AO.
