Country Education Foundation Information

Country Education Foundation (CEF) is a national not-for-profit organisation assisting rural and regional young Australians to pursue their higher education, training and career goals through financial grants, scholarships, mentoring and support. The CEF family is proud to have over 40 local education foundation committees operating throughout New South Wales, Queensland, the Northern Territory and South Australia. Since 1993 we’ve given almost 4,000 grants to disadvantaged young people across Australia. CEF has helped apprentices buy their toolkits, funded laptops and textbooks for TAFE students and helped remote students travel to capital cities to study at university. Our support services also include an annual University Survival Guide, a Scholarship Guide and student mentor programs.
