STEP Student Scholarships for Year 10-13
The STEP program is a Good Samaritan Industries (GSI) initiative, generously funded by the Department of Education’s Non-Government Centre Support (NGCS).

STEP offers work experience opportunities to year 10 -13 students with disabilities, in Good Sammys Retail Stores, the Good Sammys Canning Vale Processing Plant and Warehouse and our Good Sammys Café in Canning Vale.



We recently celebrated reaching our initial milestone of placing 100 students in work experience within our organisation, since the beginning of February this year and have signed up a number of students for School Based Traineeships within GSI. We continue to further assist young people with a disability, to make a successful transition from school to further training / employment. As a part of this initiative, we are proud to announce:

The 2016 STEP Student

Scholarship Program.

GSI is offering ten scholarships of $1,000 to assist students with a disability to access further training and/or employment opportunities, to get a head start in their training and careers.


Previously, students have used their scholarships to assist with course fees and associated costs, as well as to purchase assistive technology to commence and complete further training in a variety of industries, including; Horticulture, business administration, science and technology and trades.
