Vision Australia Further Education Bursary
The Vision Australia Further Education Bursary 2015 is now open for Applications
In 2015, Vision Australia will award Further Education Bursaries to a select number of students who are blind or have low vision. The Bursaries provide adaptive technology to help ensure that these students can fully participate and succeed in their chosen studies.

Students of any age can apply for a Vision Australia Further Education Bursary.
Applicants must:
- Be or become, a client of Vision Australia
- Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
