Applications are now open for the 2025 First Nations Cancer Scholarships Program, a federally funded initiative supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership and Indigenous-led approaches to cancer control.

In partnership with the Aurora Education Foundation and Cancer Australia, the program will award four scholarships to eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, health professionals, or early-career researchers undertaking full-time postgraduate studies or research in a cancer-related field.

Each recipient will receive up to $120,000 annually for up to three years, along with tailored academic, well-being, and community support to help lay the groundwork for long-term success.
