Emmanuel College Indigenous Residential Scholarship

The Emmanuel College Indigenous Residential Scholarship is part of the UQ Residential Scholarships Scheme and provides up to $7,000 towards accommodation fees for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The scholarship was established in 2021 by a donation from Emmanuel College under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative and is maintained by income generated from the underlying endowment fund. This scholarship supports domestic students who are enrolled full-time in an approved undergraduate program at the University of Queensland and are residents at Emmanuel College. The scholarship specifically targets students who can demonstrate financial hardship by providing documentary evidence, helping to reduce accommodation cost barriers for Indigenous students pursuing their higher education goals. The scholarship is awarded for the minimum completion time of the student's program. The number of scholarships awarded may vary from year to year. Students only need to submit one application to be considered for all scholarships in the Aspire Scholarship scheme, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarship Scheme, and the UQ Residential Scholarship scheme. Applicants must provide evidence of their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status, financial hardship documentation such as Centrelink statements or tax notices, and their QTAC reference number. The scholarship application opens on 9 September 2025 and closes on 27 February 2026.
