Semester 2 Scholarships payments

If you have more than one child on Learning for Life, each payment is sent separately. This means payments may arrive on different days. 

You can view payment amounts and your payment history anytime in the Payments page.

Each child receives two Scholarship payments each year. This money helps with your child’s education costs.

Many families tell us they want My Smith Family to be easier to find.
