HASS Globetrotters Grant

The HASS Globetrotters Grant supports students enrolled in programs administered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Queensland who wish to travel for extra-curricular opportunities that enhance their employability. The grant aims to help students develop qualities that employers expect by experiencing the world beyond their own environment, building confidence, resilience, and discovering new career prospects. The program specifically targets students who show initiative to seek out extra-curricular international opportunities that are 'out of the ordinary', including conferences, leadership programs, research programs, professional development workshops, internships, or field experience. Applicants must have completed at least one semester of full-time study, be at least 18 years of age, have identified and been accepted into their proposed program or activity by the host organization, and must not have previously received the grant. Selection criteria include the level of initiative demonstrated in acquiring the employability opportunity, ability to explain the connection between the opportunity and HASS studies, understanding of how the opportunity will enhance employability and career goal attainment, and the value and uniqueness of the opportunity.
