The Lynne Kosky Memorial Applied Learning Grants provide an important financial stimulus to VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) and Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) providers.  They enable recipients to develop learning initiatives for their students that support lifelong learning and increased community participation.

The grants acknowledge the outstanding contribution to education and training in Victoria made by Lynne Kosky, the former Victorian Education Minister, who passed away in December 2014.

Each year the VCAA provides up to 8 grants to registered Victorian senior secondary and foundation secondary providers that deliver the VCE VM and/or the VPC. Each grant is valued at $6,250.00.
