Dow STEM Scholarship

The Dow STEM Scholarship is part of the Liveris Academy Equity Scholarship Scheme established in 2021 by The Dow Chemical Company. The scholarship provides financial support to encourage and support outstanding students pursuing undergraduate STEM programs at the University of Queensland. It was established through an endowed gift and offers both annual stipends and travel support opportunities. The scholarship specifically targets students who have demonstrated educational disadvantage as a result of financial, geographical, cultural or other personal circumstances. Recipients must enroll as full-time students in their first year of an undergraduate STEM program, which includes computer science and IT, engineering, or science and mathematics. In addition to financial support, recipients receive membership with the Liveris Academy and are expected to participate and contribute to co-curricular activities at UQ and through the Liveris Academy. The scholarship recognizes academic excellence with minimum requirements of an ATAR of 99.00 or GPA of 5.8, while also emphasizing leadership potential, community service, and alignment with Liveris Academy graduate attributes.
