Since launching in 2014, Study NSW’s Partner Project has invested $2.8 million across 67 partner projects and attracted $8.8 million in industry co-funding.
Funds of up to $300,000 (ex. GST) over two years per project are available for 2023-24. All funds are matched by industry contributions, including through in-kind contributions.
For a grant activity to be eligible it must focus on international education in NSW. Examples include:
- developing a technology-enabled solution to connect international students to legal support
- undertaking research and advocacy to support the diversification of international education in regional NSW
- developing a digital micro-credential in partnership with education institutions and local industry to support the international student experience
- delivering events that enhance connection between international students and NSW community.
Partner projects are strategic, innovative, benefit the international education sector and address gaps not currently being addressed by the sector, including for regional NSW, solutions to emerging issues, and sector resilience and diversification.
Applications for 2023-24 will open soon. Study NSW accepts applications from education providers and organisations that have a focus on international education. While an application should be from a single applicant, projects should partner to ensure benefits reach a broad range of international students.
Funds of up to $300,000 (ex. GST) over two years per project are available for 2023-24. All funds are matched by industry contributions, including through in-kind contributions.
The 2023-24 Partner Projects Guidelines will be published in April, ahead of the applications opening.
