Dr David Malouf AO Scholarship

The Dr David Malouf AO Scholarship was established in 2025 by a gift from Alumni Friends under the Queensland Commitment Scholarship Match Initiative. Alumni Friends dates back to 1967, when UQ sponsored the formation of an association to foster relationships with UQ alumni. The Scholarship honours UQ alumnus Dr David Malouf AO, a celebrated and highly successful poet, author, essayist, playwright and librettist. This scholarship provides financial support to students enrolled full-time at the University of Queensland who can demonstrate financial hardship by providing documentary evidence. The scholarship is valued at $4,500, subject to the annual distribution from the relevant fund and may be more or less in some years. Scholarships are awarded to the applicants who best demonstrate the eligibility and award criterion of evidence of financial hardship. The scholarship duration is one year, with one scholarship awarded per year. Both domestic and international students are eligible, across undergraduate, honours, and postgraduate coursework study levels in all study areas.
