FitzGerald Scholarship

The FitzGerald Scholarship is awarded annually to support outstanding students enrolled in the Bachelor of Economics (Honours) program at The University of Queensland. This scholarship recognizes academic excellence in economics, specifically rewarding students who have completed their undergraduate Bachelor of Economics degree with distinction in a major of Economics and Public Policy or Quantitative Analysis. Founded in 2018 by a gift from Dr Vince FitzGerald AO, the scholarship is maintained by an endowment fund which is open to further gifts. The scholarship provides $10,000 for up to one year to support the student's honours year studies. Recipients are selected based on their academic merit, demonstrated by achieving an overall GPA of at least 6.25 in specified economics courses. Students do not need to apply separately as they are automatically assessed if they meet the eligibility criteria.
