33rd UQ Senate Create Change Residential Scholarship

The 33rd UQ Senate Create Change Residential Scholarship is designed to encourage and support high achieving students experiencing financial hardship to undertake undergraduate studies at the University of Queensland while living as a resident at an approved accommodation provider. This scholarship is part of the UQ Residential Scholarships Scheme and is maintained by income generated from the underlying endowment fund. The scholarship provides $10,000 towards accommodation fees for one year to assist domestic students who demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need. Applicants must achieve a minimum Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) of 89.00 or equivalent and provide documentary evidence of financial hardship. Preference is given to students from regional, rural or remote areas, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, first-in-family students, and those facing other significant barriers to commencing tertiary study. Students submit a single application to be considered for all scholarships in the Aspire, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education, and UQ Residential scholarship schemes. The scholarship aims to reduce financial barriers to higher education and provide accommodation support to enable talented students from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue their undergraduate degrees at the University of Queensland.
