The Bank First Teaching Initiatives Program (TIP) is open to all teachers and educators who work in preschools, primary and secondary schools across Victoria.

This year, $50,000 is divided between successful entries. The amount granted depends on the needs of each initiative, ranging between $200 and $4,000 for Bank First Members and up to $2,000 for non-Bank First Members.

Criteria for submitting an entry includes:

• A brief outline of initiative
• Proposed timeline and costs involved
• How will you measure the success of your initiative

All winning entries will be published on the Bank First website and may be shared on our social networks and other Bank First publications such as our Annual Report.

Preschools and schools are invited to submit an entry even if they have been successful in previous years, as long as their entries are innovative, original and benefit our young people.
