Dr Coral Kemp Scholarship Application Form

The Dr Coral Kemp Scholarship funds the tuition costs for an early childhood teacher to undertake the Master of Special and Inclusive Education (Early Childhood) at the University of Newcastle, while working within STaR’s Early Childhood Specialist Education team. The successful candidate will be offered part-time employment (two to three days per week) with STaR’s Early Childhood Specialist Education team for the duration of their studies. Taking up this employment is not a condition of the scholarship, but STaR’s preference is to award it to a candidate who will work with us while studying.
