Funding Opportunity for Young people in far North Queensland

I wanted to let you guys know about the Far North Queensland Youth Assistance Fund (FNQYAF). The Far North Queensland Youth Assistance Fund can provide grants for nominated young people under the age of 21 up to a maximum of $3,000 per individual to support, promote and encourage their artistic, educational or sporting potential. Students may re-apply each year until they reach 21. If they are 21 in the middle or end of the year they can apply that year as well. Past recipients have advised that the financial assistance really assisted. The grants focus on providing support and opportunity to young people who come from low socio economic backgrounds to give the assistance where its much needed. Young people located between Cardwell to Thursday Island and west towards Normanton can apply and there are many categories and grants available. Please go to www.fnqyaf.org.au for more information. Debbie Wood from (FNQYAF) on 4051 6590 will be able to provide further assistance to applications and queries but cut off is 31st of December 2010.
