Apply now for a Neville Sawyer Scholarship

Scholarships offer an incredible source of financial support for students. Unlike loans, a TAFE NSW scholarship doesn’t need to be paid back. It can help reduce student debt, study costs and stress, so you can focus on what matters.

The Neville Sawyer Scholarship was established in 2007. It is valued at $5,000 and awarded to one student from TAFE NSW in the Hunter Region or Central Coast every year. The scholarship levels up the educational playing field for a final year graduate or postgraduate student studying engineering, information technology, laboratory science or project management. You can also apply if you’re currently enrolled or intending to undertake further studies in a business-related course at TAFE NSW.

Applications for a Neville Sawyer Scholarship is now closed.

TAFE NSW offers a range of support services for students, including free and confidential counselling.

We understand that sharing your personal or financial circumstances can be emotionally challenging, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you need support.

To arrange an appointment with a counsellor, call 131 601 and select Option 5, then Option 2.

You can also use this number to access Disability Services or request a referral to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student support.
