The Defence Industry Scholarship Program provides eligible South Australian university students with grants of up to $10,000 to undertake work placements with a local defence company.
The Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) administers the South Australian Government-funded program, which connects students with defence companies to gain valuable industry experience.
The program supports the development of a defence-ready workforce and the defence industry to build in-demand skills, knowledge and experience. The work-based learning opportunities for university students address key skills demand areas.
Scholarships are available to high-calibre students who are completing a degree in either:
- science, technology, engineering, maths (STEM)
- business (majoring in project management or logistics).
The program also provides financial assistance to small and medium defence businesses to support the administration costs of student placements.
