About This Opportunity

The Duchesne College Wright Family Residential Scholarship Bursary is part of the UQ Residential Scholarships Scheme and provides financial support to domestic undergraduate students residing at Duchesne College who are experiencing financial hardship. Established in 2025 by Amanda Wright and Simon Keyser under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative, the scholarship helps offset the cost of residential fees at Duchesne College. The annual distribution from the endowment supports students with demonstrated financial need, with preference given to students from regional, rural, or remote areas and those who are first in their family to attend university. The scholarship provides $5,000 per annum for up to 3 years, though the exact amount may vary depending on the annual distribution from the fund.
