O'Moore Scholarship Endowment

The O'Moore Scholarship Endowment is part of the Liveris Academy Equity Scholarship Scheme at The University of Queensland. This scholarship was established in 2020 and is maintained by an endowment from Dr Liza O'Moore, UQ Alumna, under the Create Change Scholarship Match and Dow Chemical Challenge. The scholarship acknowledges the support of her parents, Liam and Elaine O'Moore, to pursue her studies at UQ and aims to encourage and support outstanding students through financial support and membership with the Liveris Academy. The scholarship is awarded to domestic students enrolled or intending to enrol full-time as commencing students in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) or a dual/engineering integrated program. The primary selection criterion is demonstrated financial hardship, with preference given to applicants who are the first in their family to attend university. The scholarship provides at least $7,425 in financial support. Applicants must demonstrate financial hardship and may not hold another similar scholarship. The selection committee considers educational disadvantage resulting from financial, geographical, cultural or other personal circumstances, academic achievement, leadership potential, community service, alignment with Liveris Academy graduate attributes, and commitment to participating in co-curricular activities. One scholarship is awarded annually, with the next application period opening May 1, 2026 and closing June 1, 2026.
