The Churchill Education Police & First Responders $2000 Scholarship

Churchill Education helps talented people from many industries across Australia, to turn their career experience into qualifications through the process of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Churchill began in 2006 after co-founder Randall Smith had received help and support with his medical retirement from police.

Since then, they have helped hundreds of other police and first responders to transition to new careers with the help of qualifications that show the value of their service to all employers.

In the spirit of continual giving back to the community, Churchill is offering two first responders the chance to win a scholarship of up to the value of $2000 to fund RPL qualifications.

Applications Open: 1 July – 15 August
