The New Apprenticeship Scholarship program (NASP) has been implemented to support eligible apprentices and trainees in northwest Tasmania undertake their apprenticeship or traineeship.

The scholarships are designed to support apprentices’ and trainees’ participation in approved training connected to their apprenticeship or traineeship, enabling them to pay for student fees, books and materials, transport, childcare or other items or services that will assist them to participate.
