A Defence Technical Scholarship (DTS) is a fantastic opportunity for Year 11 and 12 students, intending to pursue an ADF general entry technical trade career after completing Year 12. The DTS rewards technically-savvy students for staying on at school and enrolling in specific subjects.
Year 11 recipients will receive $2000, and Year 12 students will receive $3000. Although there is no obligation to join the Navy, Army or Air Force after finishing school, you will be required to tell us why you are interested in an ADF technical trade career as part of the selection process.
We recently spoke to six previous winners of the Defence Technical Scholarship to find out about what prompted them to apply, how it has contributed to their current role in the ADF and the opportunities and experiences they've gained. Watch their stories now to learn more.
