Climate Resilience Scholarship Fund Application Form
Into the Arena 2026
These scholarships are made possible thanks to our partner NRMA Insurance.
Into the Arena is a 10-week accelerator designed to build the leadership, confidence, connections, and concrete climate action plans you need to lead meaningful change in your spheres of influence. Participants will join with business leaders, policy makers, climate scientists and changemakers in transformative, systems-based learning.
Our Climate Resilience Scholarships aim to support the capacity building of local leaders, emerging and established, to accelerate local climate resilience action across the country as part of the NRMA Insurance Help Fund Initiative.
As part of this stream, you will build a Climate Action Plan focusing on climate resilience, which will continue to develop in partnership with our community.
Note: Scholarships range and are partial to majority-funded.
