Dean's Western Sydney Local Health District Master of Art Therapy Indigenous Scholarship
This scholarship covers 100% of tuition fees for up to two years.
Western Sydney Local Health District is committed to supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to further develop their skills in Allied Health. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are under-represented the workforce, and as a major employer, not only in health but also Western Sydney, they would like to provide this opportunity for an Indigenous person to undertake the Masters of Art Therapy.
As a Health Care provider they recognise and understand the impacts that intergenerational trauma have played and continue to play in the community. We believe that providing these opportunities will assist in this pathway to improve the visual arts for Indigenous people.
