About This Opportunity

The King's College Colin and Betty Elworthy Residential Scholarship is part of the UQ Residential Scholarships Scheme, established in 2021 by King's College under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative and maintained by income generated from the endowment fund. The scholarship provides $4,500 (subject to annual distribution from the relevant fund and may vary in some years) towards accommodation fees at King's College for domestic undergraduate students who are commencing their studies at the University of Queensland. This scholarship specifically supports students from regional, rural, or remote areas of Queensland who can demonstrate financial hardship. The scholarship aims to reduce the financial burden of accommodation costs for students transitioning from rural and remote Queensland to university life in Brisbane. Recipients must be enrolled full-time in an approved program and reside at King's College while receiving the award.
