About the Scholarship Funds

VBNK is pleased to announce that we are able to offer a limited number of scholarships which have been made available through the generous support of: 

ANZ Royal Bank
AusAid

The purpose of these scholarship funds is to enable staff of NGOs who manage people and/or projetcs to access VBNK training. In particular, the aim is to enable CNGOs who have a proven track record, but as yet no funds for staff training, to send their managers to attend training in management and organisational development.

In addition, VBNK can support organisations that register four full paying participants on an individual course to receive the fifth place on the same course for 50% of the course fee. If the group includes two women, then the fifth place on the same course will be free of charge.
