Australian Indigenous Education Foundation

hard heads, soft hearts, capable hands

AIEF was established in 2008 in response to community demand from Indigenous families who choose
to enrol their children in boarding schools.

Bringing together the government and private sector, AIEF provides scholarship funding for
Indigenous students to complete Year 12 or tertiary studies, with career support to help them make a
successful transition to employment.

AIEF has grown from one scholarship student in 2008, to now supporting over 1,000 young Indigenous
Australians from over 400 communities from every state and territory across Australia.
