​COURSE BURSARIES

We are pleased to be able to offer several bursaries to individuals and schools, through the generosity of local organisations, schools, local government and our private individual supporters.

We are truly grateful to everyone who has been instrumental in helping us to create opportunities for everyone to have access to our training and courses.

General Course
​Bursary

If you feel that your financial circumstances won't allow you to participate in a course due to cost, you can apply for a bursary up to once a year.

This can provide up to 50% of the cost of the course.  ​

"I’ve always had a passion for nature and especially woodwork, so the knife carving course seemed to be a great fit. I’ve had a long time struggling with mental illness and being out of work, however The Sustainability Centre was fantastic and helped me out with their bursary scheme, without it I wouldn’t have been able to do the course.

​Bill Mollison
​Bursary

At the Sustainability Centre, we have created a lasting tribute to Bill Mollison – known as the “father of permaculture” – the Tasmanian man who co-founded the global permaculture movement. The tribute will be in the form of an annual bursary funded by our Charity – the Earthworks Trust, to support a student on our 4 day Introduction to Permaculture Design Course every year.
 
We offer this out of deep respect and acknowledgement of the important role and inspiration that Permaculture has within our organisational design, site and courses. We are connected to the international community of permaculture, its ideas and network of real people doing real things.
 
In offering this bursary we would like to inspire others to create a network of bursaries across the globe to reflect the global influence that Bill has had. A power for good seeking to influence real and lasting change.  ​
