BBM Ltd Youth scholarships

The BBM (formerly Big Brother Movement) Limited Youth scholarships provide financial assistance of approximately $20,000 each year for Sydney Institute students aged 15 to 23 years who are experiencing exceptional financial hardship.

The scholarship aims to assist disadvantaged students to complete a vocational pathway towards employment. Scholarship funds are provided for educational expenses including course fees, texts, protective clothing, tools and equipment. Scholarship amounts range from $100 to $1,000 according to identified need.

BBM is a non-political, non-commercial, non-sectarian organisation that supports a range of youth support programs. More information about BBM is provided on the BBM website.

How to apply and award procedure

Students are nominated by teaching staff or College Counsellors. This scholarship is offered across the Institute at the beginning of each semester. The Equity Unit calls for a round of nominations which are assessed by an Institute Scholarship Committee. Approvals are based on relative merit against BBM selection criteria. Out of session nominations can be considered, if required, throughout the semester.
