JUB Physiotherapy Scholarship

The JUB Physiotherapy Scholarship is part of the UQ Physiotherapy Endowed Scholarship Scheme at The University of Queensland. This scholarship specifically supports students experiencing financial hardship who are enrolled in Year 3 or 4 of the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) program. The scholarship provides at least $4,500 annually, limited to the annual income from the endowment fund, for a duration of one year. The scholarship was established in 2019 by Emeritus Professor Gwendolen Jull AO, Associate Professor Yvonne Burns AO and Elaine Unkles OAM under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative and is maintained by income generated from the endowment fund. Preference is given to students from rural or regional areas showing the greatest financial need. Applicants must demonstrate and provide documentary evidence of financial hardship, such as Centrelink statements or Tax Notices. The selection process considers demonstrated financial need, a personal statement showing how the scholarship will assist in completing the program, and other factors the selection committee considers relevant to future success in the physiotherapy profession. Shortlisted candidates may be invited for an interview.
