Preschool parents in the ACT can access Future of Education Equity Fund
The ACT Government has provided more than $1.5 million to eligible Canberra parents and carers through its Future of Education Equity Fund.
The funding distributed to date has supported 2591 students from 1225 Canberra families, helping eligible families to access everyday essentials such as book packs, uniforms and excursions, sport equipment and activities, tuition, and music lessons to assist with their education and wellbeing.
It supports financially disadvantaged families with students who are enrolled in preschool through to Year 12 in any ACT school. Payments are:
- $400 for preschool students
- $500 for primary school students
- $750 for high school and college students
In 2023 the Fund supported 5000 students, with more than $2.9 million disbursed. Applications for the 2024 school year will remain open until 29 November 2024.
