Cynthia Burnett Travel Scholarship

The Cynthia Burnett Travel Scholarship was established in 2018 by Cynthia Burnett to foster learning of multiple European languages. This scholarship supports domestic students at The University of Queensland who are participating in the UQ Abroad Program at a host university in a country where one of their studied European languages is predominantly spoken. The scholarship is designed to help students further their proficiency in European languages and achieve fluency through immersive study abroad experiences. Recipients must have completed at least 8 courses across two European languages other than English and must demonstrate financial need, academic achievement in language studies, and commitment to achieving language fluency. The scholarship provides financial support of at least $4,500 to help cover expenses associated with international study exchange programs.
