The First Nations bursary covers full playing and registration fees for successful applicant(s). Applications are currently open for the 2024 season.
Players are eligible if they:
- identify as Indigenous Australian or a descendant of people indigenous to the South Pacific, including New Zealand and Australia
- are currently studying at a recognised educational institute (successful applicants will need to show evidence of study at a recognised educational institute – Statement of Enrolment or student card)
- fill in the club's EOI form; and
- submit an application via this Google Form.
Recipients are not guaranteed selection into one of MUSC’s competition teams (that is, teams that play a full home and away season.) If you are eligible to receive the First Nations Bursary and are not selected into a competition team, your registration fees for your participation in other forms of participation at the club – for example, as a social football member or as a train-on – will be waived.
MUSC will make every effort to keep applications anonymous and will advise of the application outcome via the phone number and/or email provided. If successful, applicants may need to provide evidence of enrolment.
