Alumni Friends Founders Scholarship

The Alumni Friends Founders Scholarship is part of the Aspire Scholarship Program at The University of Queensland. Established in 2020 by the Alumni Friends Society under the Create Change Scholarship match initiative, this scholarship supports domestic students experiencing significant financial hardship who are commencing their undergraduate studies at UQ. The scholarship provides financial assistance to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds access higher education. Eligible students must be enrolling in any bachelor program at UQ for the first time, having completed no prior tertiary study at bachelor level or higher. Applicants must demonstrate significant financial disadvantage by achieving the maximum points for the Financial Hardship category of QTAC's Educational Access Scheme and must have been awarded The Queensland Commitment Scholarship. Preference is given to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, students from refugee or rural backgrounds, first-generation university students, and those who have demonstrated educational disadvantage.
