Hunter TAFE Foundation
The Hunter TAFE Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation working with business, education, and community leaders to support education and training at TAFE NSW in the Hunter and Central Coast region.
Established in 2000, the Hunter TAFE Foundation has a rich history in the region, having evolved from the Newcastle Technical and Further Education Committee Trust Fund, which received its first donation in 1936 to provide skills for employment.
Fast forward to today, and the Foundation provides financial support to TAFE NSW students in the Hunter and Central Coast who are experiencing either personal or financial hardship, assisting them in completing their studies.
Throughout the 2023/2024 financial year, the Foundation recognised 82 students in 25 categories supported by our very generous donors and supporters to the tune of $105,030. It is with the ongoing support of our generous and loyal donors that the Hunter TAFE Foundation can continue to assist students from a diverse range of backgrounds to successfully complete their studies, enter the workforce or enhance their career pathway.
Interested in establishing an award or scholarship?
Individuals and organisations are more than welcome to make an annual donation to help support continued education in the Hunter and Central Coast regions.
We understand that some donors may wish to establish an award or scholarship that aligns with their particular field of expertise or specific career area. The Hunter TAFE Foundation considers this type of donation as a Dedicated Fund. Dedicated Funds are funds only to be used for the purpose as instructed by the donor.

Testimonials
Testimonial Through my studies, I have found my self-confidence again. The course has helped me get back involved with my community and meet new people. Many of us are struggling with the cost of living at the moment, so this Scholarship goes a long way to taking the stress off financially, so I can stay focused on my goals.
Chloe O'Grady2023 Newcastle Airport and Astra Aerospace Scholarship RecipientTestimonial Being chosen was a real boost to my confidence, and I know that I wouldn't be able to create the works I've been making, as the materials are very expensive. The Scholarship has allowed my art to reach a higher visual standard than it would have otherwise, and this is greatly helping me achieve higher grades.
Emily Lloyd2024 City of Newcastle Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship RecipientTestimonial There have been two major benefits. The first was the privilege of starting my home studio after being gifted gear by Muso's Corner. The second was that it impressed on me the value of community in the music industry. My life has been changed by a few people who love the arts, looking to help others. There's everything to gain by applying for an Award or Scholarship.
