The Duchesne College Dr Margaret Grant (DC'57) Residential Scholarship Bursary is part of the UQ Residential Scholarships Scheme. Established in 2023 by Christine McDonald OAM under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative, the scholarship provides annual distributions from an endowment to support students experiencing financial hardship with the cost of residential fees at Duchesne College. The scholarship awards $5,000 per annum towards accommodation fees for students enrolled full-time in an approved program at the University of Queensland. Preference is given to applicants from Regional, Rural or Remote Areas of Queensland. The scholarship has a duration of 3 years and is available to both future and current domestic undergraduate students at UQ who are residents at Duchesne College. Recipients must demonstrate financial hardship by providing documentary evidence such as Centrelink statements, ATO statements, or family income documentation. One scholarship is awarded annually, with applications typically opening in September and closing in February.
