Everick Heritage Scholarship for Indigenous Archaeology and Cultural Heritage

The Everick Heritage Scholarship for Indigenous Archaeology and Cultural Heritage was established by the School of Social Science at The University of Queensland through the support of the Everick Foundation. This scholarship aims to provide opportunities for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students to pursue academic and professional careers in archaeology and cultural heritage, with the ultimate goal of achieving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led positive cultural heritage outcomes. The scholarship is valued at $5,000 AUD and is awarded for one year to support students enrolled in relevant undergraduate or honours programs. Eligible students must identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and be enrolled full-time or part-time in a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or dual degree with a declared major in Archaeology, Archaeological Science, or other majors relevant to cultural heritage. Selection for this scholarship is based on the applicant's level of active interest in cultural heritage issues and their active engagement and participation in Indigenous communities and organisations. The scholarship opens for applications in March 2026, with a closing date in April 2026. The number of awards may vary depending on the funding available.
