The Varley Group TVET Scholarship helps female TAFE NSW TVET students in non-traditional industries.

The goal is to support and encourage these students, as they are more likely to pursue an Apprenticeship or Traineeship after finishing their studies.

The Varley Group Encouragement Scholarship is for people who are not working full-time but are interested in learning new skills related to Varley Group's operations. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Non-English speaking background students to apply.
