Nominations for the fabulous Channel Country Ladies Day Scholarship program are now open!
We are thrilled to announce that applications are now open for the Channel Country Ladies Day (CCLD) Scholarship Program, proudly supported by our generous Scholarship Partner, SANTOS.
Thanks to SANTOS’ continued support, 10 scholarships valued at $1,500 each will be awarded for the 2026 Channel Country Ladies Day event.
Each scholarship includes:
- Registration to the 2026 CCLD (October, 2026)
- Tented accommodation at the event
- A tailored mentoring program, chosen from one of the following streams:
- Creative & Performing Arts
- Health & Wellbeing
- Business Skills & Personal Development
What’s New in 2026?
With CCLD now a biennial event, the scholarship program is evolving. In 2026, recipients will:
- Begin their mentoring program prior to the event, focused on their chosen stream
- Be supported throughout the event by our team and mentors
- Connect with an inspiring network of past, present, and potential CCLD guest speakers and workshop facilitators
“This year, scholarship recipients will be supported through the mentoring component of the program prior to attending the event, built around one of the three streams. The recipients are also supported throughout the event.”
— Maree, CCLD Team
Who Should Be Nominated?
We welcome nominations for:
- A friend, family member, colleague, or neighbour
- Yourself – because every woman deserves the chance to invest in her personal growth
“Nominating is a quick and simple process. Just write a few sentences about why the person you’re nominating would benefit. Whether you’ve been to the event recently, years ago, or never before, all ladies who reside in the Channel Country are welcome to apply!”
— Tracy, CCLD Team
Confidentiality
All scholarship applicants and recipients will remain anonymous throughout the nomination, selection, and event process.
Who Is This For?
Scholarships are prioritised for women who would benefit from taking time out of their everyday lives to reflect, learn, and grow. This opportunity is not limited to those who have experienced adversity—it’s for any woman ready to pause, reconnect, and invest in herself.
“It’s not just for people who have suffered tragedy or hardship—it’s for women who simply need a moment to breathe, to find clarity, and to re-centre.”
— Maree, CCLD Team
Nominations open October 24 and close December 16, 2025.
