About This Opportunity

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarship was established in 2020 to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to achieve educational success through completing studies at the University of Queensland, and to support greater representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in higher education as stated in the UQ Reconciliation Action Plan. The scholarship is supported by UQ fundraising initiatives and gifts from donors, and is open to further contributions. This scholarship is available to current UQ students who are Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander persons and can demonstrate financial need. It is open to students enrolled in any coursework program at both undergraduate and postgraduate coursework levels. The scholarship has a one-year duration with varying award values and number of scholarships awarded. Applications are assessed based on demonstrated financial need, personal qualities including leadership potential, academic ability, and other matters considered relevant to future academic success.
