scholarships & grants

Juggling work, study and your personal life can be hard. So to make it all worthwhile, we award a number of Sports Grants* and Crew Scholarships* to support your studies and sporting dreams.

To be awarded the McDonald's Crew Scholarship fund, you don’t have to be the top of your class or a star athlete. Instead, it allows us to give something back to you for showing dedication and working hard at McDonald's, while remaining in school.

* Conditions apply. Value and qualifying criteria may vary between states. Crew Scholarships and Sports Grants are only available to McDonald's employees.

Things not adding up? Why not try the Maths Online tutoring program.

The maths website includes tutorials and tests that reflect the curriculum in each State from years 7-11 with a range of HSC papers for Year 12 students.

Each tutorial is fully narrated allowing you to “stop and rewind” the teacher. There are also thousands of exam style questions to practise with as well, but probably the best benefit is having a refresher course at your fingertips leading up to any exam. It’s like having your own personal teacher next to you explaining things, in a way you can understand!
