About AIEF
hard heads, soft hearts, capable hands
Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF) was established in **** 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 and mentoring to help them make a successful transition to employment.
Backed by some of Australia's most influential business, philanthropic, media and community leaders, AIEF has grown from one scholarship student in **** to now supporting over 1,500 young Indigenous people from over 500 communities in every state and territory of Australia.
AIEF has consistently achieved annual retention and Year 12 completion rates and career transition rates above 90% since funding its first scholarship in ****.
