Emmanuel College Nev Ducat Regional Queensland Engineering Residential Scholarship

This scholarship is part of the UQ Residential Scholarships Scheme and is made possible through a gift from Emmanuel College to honour the generosity of Nev Ducat, an Emmanuel College and UQ alumnus. Nev himself was the recipient of a cadetship which directly enabled him to reside at Emmanuel College and to study Electrical Engineering at UQ. The scholarship supports domestic students from regional, rural, or remote areas of Queensland who are enrolled full-time in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), a dual program including the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), or an engineering integrated program. Recipients must be residents at Emmanuel College and demonstrate financial hardship. The scholarship covers the annual cost of residency at Emmanuel College for the minimum completion time of the program. Preference is given to applicants who are or will be studying electrical engineering. The Scholarship reflects Nev Ducat's desire that his gift be used to create opportunities for students in engineering, a field which he acknowledges has provided him with a rewarding and satisfying professional career. The Scholarship is maintained by income generated from the underlying endowment fund.
