Recoupment process

The Awards​

Funds are paid on the basis that they will be used to manage the regional exhibition and opening event. Recoupment may be sought if the Regional Coordinator indicated the program funding was not spent.

In Residence

Travel, accommodation and catering will be organised by the department. Recoupment may be sought if selected supervisor cancels and a suitable replacement cannot be found.​

How to apply

The Awards​

All schools that coordinated the regional exhibition the previous year are offered to continue to coordinate the exhibition in the following year. If a school declines the offer, the program manager will send out an EOI to all other schools in that region/s.

Where multiple schools from the same region express interest, the program manager will determine the successful school based on suitability to coordinate the event.

In Residence​
