National Indigenous Cadetship Project

The National Indigenous Cadetship Project (NICP) links Indigenous tertiary students with employers in a cadetship arrangement involving full-time study and work placements.

Cadets receive:

- a study allowance while undertaking full-time study
- help with the cost of books and equipment
- paid work placements that are relevant to their studies.
- Cadets who are studying away from home may also be eligible for limited travel assistance.
