Empowered Scholarships
Certificate III & IV Personal Training
If you’re passionate about health and fitness and have what it takes to help your community stay fit, strong and connected then we want to hear from you!
Six rural communities across Australia are set to benefit from an annual scholarship program designed to promote health, wellbeing and connection through group fitness.
The Active Farmers Scholarship program enables 6 deserving recipients the opportunity to complete their Certificate III and Certificate IV in Personal Training at no cost and go on to work with Active Farmers for a minimum of two years in their local communities.
If you’re into fitness and want to help your community stay fit, strong and well we want to hear from you. By applying for an Active Farmers Scholarship, you could become a qualified personal trainer working in your local community.
“One of our biggest challenges is finding trainers in isolated rural communities, so we’re very proud of for creating the Active Farmers Scholarship program to help rural people access personal training education so they can start their own business and make a difference in their communities.
“These scholarships will really empower the 6 trainers by giving them the qualification and experience they need to go on and use that for the greater good of their communities. And if we can put more local people through this program every year, it means there's so many more communities we'll be able to help, which is really exciting.”
It’s our hope that this partnership creates positive momentum: We empower Active Farmers to grow and spread further into farming communities, in turn empowering these motivated individuals to grow and spread that empowerment within their communities. And if it can help just one person with their mental health and wellbeing, to have a positive impact on those alarming statistics, then it will be a win.
Applications for the EMPOWERED Scholarship program officially open at the end of August and close start of December. Winners will be announced by mid December with a view to starting the course in February 2027.
To enter, applicants must submit a video explaining how an Active Farmers scholarship would empower them and their community. For those looking to apply. Once you apply we will send you further instructions on submitting your video.
