BUMA Tertiary & Trade Scholarship

Supporting education access for rural communities

BUMA is proud to introduce a new initiative supporting students from rural Queensland as they pursue tertiary and trade studies. The BUMA Tertiary & Trade Scholarship Program was created to assist young people from Nebo and nearby communities – including Clarke Creek, Belyando, Mt Coolon, and Capricornia – who are transitioning into, or currently completing tertiary or vocational studies.

This program reflects BUMA’s commitment to investing in the future of regional communities and helping students overcome the financial challenges of further education. In partnership with the Isolated Children’s Parent’s Association (ICPA) Queensland, six one-off scholarships of $2,500 were awarded for Semester 2, 2025.

Application process

Applications were accepted from 1 April to 16 May 2025, with eligibility based on enrolment status, community ties, and academic goals. Selection was made by BUMA representatives, with support from ICPA Queensland.
