The EDCA Karate Scholarship Programme
We’re incredibly proud to announce the launch of the Eumundi & District Community Association (EDCA) Karate Scholarship Programme.
With the generous support of EDCA, four young people aged 5–24 will receive scholarships to train in karate - removing financial barriers and creating opportunities for growth, confidence and connection.
Karate is more than just physical activity. It builds resilience, focus, respect and a strong sense of belonging.
This programme is about giving local young people the chance to step into the dojo, be supported, and realise their potential.
A huge thank you to EDCA for backing our community and investing in the next generation.
