Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP)
The Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP) offers scholarships and leadership opportunities to young Indigenous Australians, with a focus on Indigenous youth from remote or regional communities.
The IYLP gives Indigenous young people the opportunity to study at high performing secondary schools or universities and benefit from practical leadership experiences, personal development and mentoring.
IYLP is funded by the Federal Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. In Western Australia IYLP is primarily administered by MADALAH on behalf of DEEWR.
Secondary Scholarships
Secondary Scholarships are for students in Years 8-12. Students selected for an IYLP Secondary Scholarship are required to attend an IYLP Education Provider school (listed below).
N.B. If a student is successful in gaining a scholarship it does not secure a place at the school of their choice. You will also need to apply to the school of choice.
