Morrells' Scholarship for Aspiring Teachers

The Morrells' Scholarship for Aspiring Teachers provides financial support to students pursuing teaching careers at The University of Queensland. Established by Professor Patricia Morrell, UQ Head of the School of Education in 2022, this scholarship aims to support aspiring teachers who demonstrate financial hardship. The scholarship is valued at $3,000 for one year and is awarded to one student annually. Applicants must be enrolled in a Bachelor of Education (Primary) or Bachelor of Education (Secondary), or a dual program that includes one of these programs at UQ, and must provide documentary evidence of financial hardship. Selection is based on academic capability and future academic potential, as well as the applicant's commitment to a career in Education as evidenced by a personal statement.
