The Australian Government has engaged eight Partnership Brokers to deliver at least 300 (240 secondary and 60 tertiary) scholarships of up to three years duration, each year over 2010-2012.
Partnership Brokers have responsibilities to students, families and communities, to education providers, and for IYLP partner support.
IYLP Partnership Brokers also receive a small amount of funding to support student outcomes. These funds can be used towards practical leadership experiences and other educational costs (excluding school fees and tuition; and boarding and accommodation costs).
