Marie Myers Scholarship

The Marie Myers Scholarship is part of the UQ Residential Scholarships Scheme and provides financial support to students experiencing financial hardship with the cost of residential fees at The Women's College. The scholarship was established in 2023 by Marie Myers under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative and is maintained by income generated from the underlying endowment fund. The scholarship provides $4,500 (subject to the annual distribution from the relevant fund and may be more or less in some years) towards accommodation fees for eligible domestic students enrolled full-time in an approved program at The University of Queensland. Recipients must be residents at The Women's College and demonstrate financial hardship through documentary evidence. This scholarship is awarded for one year, with the number of awards varying annually. Applicants can apply through a single online application that considers them for all scholarships in the Aspire Scholarship scheme, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarship Scheme, and the UQ Residential Scholarship scheme. Recipients cannot hold another bursary or scholarship from The Women's College concurrently.
