Student Hostels Assistance

Grant Description

The Student Hostel Support Scheme provides both recurrent per-capita funding and capital subsidies to eligible non-profit and local government-run hostels in rural and remote Queensland, enabling geographically isolated primary and secondary students (including those with disabilities) to access daily schooling. Recurrent grants (from $4,742 per student p.a. for the first 20 students and $4,048 thereafter, with a minimum of $16,712 p.a.) primarily cover operational and pastoral care costs (40% of which is strongly recommended for student wellbeing), while capital assistance subsidises up to 50% of approved maintenance, establishment or equipment projects (capped at $50,000 per hostel per annum).
