You'll find out if you were successful usually within four weeks of the application closing date. If you have not received an offer by this time, you have been unsuccessful. You can view the status of your application via your scholarship application portal account.

There may be an opportunity for the scholarship holder to undertake voluntary work with the Melbourne Holocaust Museum. The voluntary work may occur off-site and will be discussed on a case by case basis (this process will be managed by the Melbourne Holocaust Museum). The decision to accept any potential offer is the students’ and will not impact the their eligibility to receive the scholarship.
