Circular Head residents planning further study in 2027 are encouraged to apply for Council’s Mayor’s Education Fund bursary, with $5,000 available to help ease the cost of continuing their education.
Established in 2002, the Fund supports residents who would experience financial hardship or find it difficult to access further education without assistance.
Applicants must have successfully completed Grade 12 or be a mature age student. They should demonstrate financial need and show they have explored other avenues of support. Preference may be given to applicants studying at the University of Tasmania or another Tasmanian institution.
The successful applicant will also help promote further education in Circular Head through the Circular Head Education and Training Consultative Committee (CHETCC).
Applications close at close of business on Wednesday 16 December 2026.
