Scholarship overview
Key facts
Application dates
The Drenched Charitable Trust scholarship is to support those who have grown up with a high-support-needs sibling or parent. This family dynamic can result in poor mental health outcomes and financial hardship. Drenched is committed to uplifting this group of young people who often place the needs of others first and deserve support towards their own aspirations. Drenched will commit $1000 towards course-related costs for tertiary education.
