Michael Lattke Scholarship in Studies in Religion

The Michael Lattke Scholarship in Studies in Religion is awarded annually to domestic students at the University of Queensland who are enrolled in a major, extended major, or field of study in religion. Established in 2019 under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative and maintained by the Irmtraud Petersson and Michael Lattke Scholarship Endowment fund, this scholarship supports students who demonstrate both financial need and academic excellence. The scholarship provides at least $4,500 per year and can be awarded for up to 4 years, supporting undergraduate and Honours students pursuing studies in religion. Recipients are selected based on demonstrated financial need, personal qualities including leadership potential, academic capability, and future potential in their field of study. This scholarship aims to support talented students who might otherwise face financial barriers to completing their education in religious studies. The award recognizes students who show promise not only in their academic pursuits but also in their community engagement and extracurricular activities.
