JD Adams Memorial Residential Scholarship

The JD Adams Memorial Residential Scholarship is part of the UQ Residential Scholarships Scheme and provides financial support for undergraduate domestic students from regional, rural, or remote areas who demonstrate financial hardship. The scholarship was established in 2018 through a bequest to the University under the will of the late John Dugald Adams, a long-time donor and Bachelor of Commerce graduate of the University in 1961. The scholarship is maintained by income generated from the underlying endowment fund. The scholarship provides $10,000 per annum towards accommodation fees for eligible students who are enrolled full-time in an approved program and are residents at an approved accommodation provider. The scholarship is awarded for a duration of 3 years to commencing students who can demonstrate financial hardship through documentary evidence. Scholarships are awarded to students showing the greatest merit based on academic achievement. Applicants need only 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. The number of awards available may vary each year.
