Latest change: Wellington’s grants and scholarships content now routes Community Grants through a grants and scholarships contact form by November 30, and the bursary application page no longer shows its form content or submission instructions.
Grant application requirements updated
Community Grants now directs applicants to submit through the grants and scholarships contact form by November 30, and the visible application instructions no longer show the previous online application and downloadable application flow. The bursary scholarship application page also no longer shows the form questions, upload section, transcript upload, or financial circumstances letter, so the application steps and required materials are materially reduced. The grants page still shows the Community Grants maximum of $2,000.00 per application and the exempt-organization process, while the bursary programme still shows $1,000.00 awards to ten successful students with applications accepted from March 1st until August 31st and submitted by August 31st. The Luella Logan Scholarship remains shown at $1,500 annually with a September 30th deadline.
