Listen up, young folk of Australia, to celebrate the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™, Optus is awarding 64 Inspirational Grants to help you accomplish even your most outlandish pipe dreams.
In the words of the great chef Marco Pierre White, ‘If you have a dream, you have a duty to yourself to make it come true’.
Oh, how right you are, Marco.
Right now, you can put this into practice as young Aussies are encouraged to turn their dreams into reality.

Optus, Official Supporter & Broadcaster of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™, is offering teenagers the opportunity to take part in a nationwide Inspiration Grants initiative worth $192,000, with each epic grant valued at a whopping $3,000 to recipients all over the country.
So, if your passion is sports, arts, academia, science, or beyond, these grants are available across many different sectors.
You don’t just have to be an aspiring football star to secure one of these babies. But even if you do, there’s something here for every young dreamer.
These grants are only offered to those between 13-19 to kick-start their goals across all disciplines while removing financial barriers.
Do you want to dominate the field like Sam Kerr? How about a set of pipes like Keith Urban? What about a silver-tongued thespian like Cate Blanchett? Or even be a great public speaker like Grace Tame?
It doesn’t matter; we just want to know about it!
F1’s Daniel Riccardo even praised Optus for helping the next generation of Aussies.
“Ever since I can remember I had dreamt of being in Formula 1. The moment my foot hit the pedal for the first time, I knew this was where I belonged. It was such an awesome feeling," he said.
"Through their Inspiration Grants, Optus is giving 64 young people across Australia a kick-start to help them achieve their dreams – whatever that may be. And let me tell you, if you can take that opportunity and use it to your advantage, something like this could change your life.”
If you’re aged 13-19, the first thing you need to do is head to optus.com.au/grants and tell us what future goal you are inspired to say yes to.
Start writing, kids.
Applications close 20 August 2023. T&Cs at optus.com.au/grants
