Defence Technical Scholarship (DTS).
Year 12 students are encouraged to apply for a Defence Technical Scholarship (DTS). The DTS rewards technically-savvy students for staying on at school and completing their HSC. Defence offer a number of DTS annually. Successful Year 12 students receive $3000.00. Although there is no obligation to join the Navy, Army or Air Force after finishing school, you will need to explain why you may be interested in an ADF technical trade career as part of the DTS selection process. Applicants should be studying a Math subject and either a TVET subject, Industrial Technology or Engineering Studies in the HSC year. Last year four SJC Year 12s were awarded DTS. Information is on the DTS website www.defencejobs.gov.au/DTS or from Mrs Charters. Due date for applications is Friday 11 March.
