Indigenous Storytellers Scholarship Returns

February 12, 2026 By Roxane Manley

The Indigenous Storytellers Scholarship is proud to announce the launch of its fourth annual program. The initiative from Façon Australia, proudly supported by Greater Bank, is dedicated to empowering emerging Indigenous creatives who are passionate about sharing their stories through diverse creative mediums.

Greater Bank will again award one out­standing recipient $10,000 to support their creative journey. For the second consecu­tive year, Greater Bank will also recognise the remaining eight finalists with $1,000 each.

All nine finalists will also receive invalua­ble mentorship from industry leaders across a wide range of creative disciplines, includ­ing writing, fashion design, accessory de­sign, art, music, dance, digital art, film and photography.

In 2026, the initiative is also proudly sup­ported by Orica, Regional Development Australia (Hunter) and Reconciliation NSW.

The Indigenous Storytellers Scholarship is open to Indigenous applicants aged 16 years and over, residing in NSW.

Applications close 7 May 2026, with the successful recipient announced at a special NAIDOC Week event on 9 July 2026. For full application details, visit Façon Maga­zine at www.faconaustralia.com/apply/ and Greater Bank at www.greater.com.au.
