Applicants must have an Australian Business Number (ABN) and be one of the following:
a primary or secondary school, registered with a state or territory authority
an incorporated not for profit organisation
an entity incorporated in Australia
To be eligible your project must involve:
the participation of a student or a group of students under the age of 18 at an eligible event

An eligible event must:
