Camp Creative scholarships are an amazing opportunity for our young people to learn from industry experts, explore their passions in a nuturing environment and network with other like minded people.

Our scholarships are open to all young people living and studying within the Bellingen Shire.

We offer three scholarship types -

• Merit - Merit scholarships are awarded based on a students high artistic/physical abilities and creative talent.

• Equity - Equity scholarships consider student's facing financial hardship, physical limitations, or other difficult circumstances.

• First Nations - First Nations scholarships are designed to support students who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander.

Scholarships include:

• The total cost of the selected course ticket.

• Plus the choice of either covering up to $125 worth of any extra material costs OR a daily Camp Creative canteen lunch voucher.

All applications will be reviewed by our scholarship panel and as there are only a small number of scholarships available, this means that not all applications will be successful.

• Applications open August 10th and close September 20th, 2026. Successful applicants will be notified in writing by the end of September, 2026.

• All applicants must commit to attending the full duration of the course.

• As courses are held at various venues around Bellingen student transport must be organised by the parent/carer.

• Complete applications will always be given preference over applications with missing information eg. the school nomination form must be complete.
