3.    Community Grants Program
This category provides for opportunities that cannot be supported through the Community Funding Program.  The City will assess these opportunities as they arise.   

The Community Grants Program is designed to provide a quick response fund for minor projects that fall within the guidelines of the Community Funding Program but cannot be completed successfully within the time frame of the Community Funding Program rounds or submitted by the specified closing dates

4.    Student Scholarship Program
The Student Scholarship Program is to support and assist identified young people who are residents of the City of South Perth to continue with their studies in years eleven and twelve.

Funds for a limited number of scholarships will be made available directly to participating schools at the beginning of each calendar year. Participating schools agree to undertake the selection process and administer scholarship expenses under the guidelines set out in this document. 

The Student Scholarship Program is aimed at supporting students who are in need of financial support, have sound academic and achievement backgrounds and who are involved in community, sporting or cultural activities

Students will be invited to apply directly to their school for scholarships in year eleven. Subject to satisfactory progress recipients will remain on the scholarship program in year twelve. Consideration may be given to year twelve students who were not year eleven recipients subject to available funds.
