Energiser grants
Are you committed to making your community better through the power of education? You may be eligible for a grant of up to AU $5,000.
We believe education can transform lives, and that when change is led by people with passion and commitment, it can have an even greater impact.
Edified’s Energiser Grants provide financial support to worthy projects initiated by students and alumni around the world. We help ideas become reality, with the aim of creating positive change for the members of the initiators’ communities.
What do we mean by ‘your community’? That’s up to you. It could be your hometown, your country, or anywhere around the world. It could be a specific group of people, such as children in remote areas or adults working in health. It could even be a virtual community. We only ask that your project doesn’t exclude people on the basis of race, faith or sexuality.

Eligibility
To be eligible for a grant, your project must be aimed at improving education within your community. It could be anything – language tutoring programs, building safe spaces for girls to learn, or a new EdTech platform.
You need to be a current student or recent graduate (within the past five years) of an Australian, New Zealand, UK, Irish, Canadian or European educational institution (these regions are chosen because that's where our clients are). Your institution must have delivered higher education, vocational training or English language tuition.
Domestic and international students of any nationality and from any study mode, including part-time, online and offshore, are welcome to apply. The grants are open to both individuals and groups.
The project can be delivered in any country in the world.
