Santos Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarship

The Santos Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarship supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students enrolled in coursework programs at the University of Queensland who can demonstrate financial hardship. This scholarship is part of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarship Scheme and provides financial assistance to help students pursue their undergraduate studies. The scholarship was established in 2022 by a donation from Santos under the UQef Scholarship Match Initiative and is maintained by an expendable gift from Santos. Preference is given to students studying in specific fields such as engineering, applied geology, environmental science, coastal and marine science, construction management, and health, safety and environment, as well as to students who identify with specific Traditional Owner groups. The scholarship considers financial hardship, personal qualities including leadership potential, academic ability, and other factors relevant to future academic success.
