The Alfred and Olivea Wynne Memorial Scholarships

The Alfred and Olivea Wynne Memorial Scholarships provide financial assistance to students who are residents of Maryborough or surrounding areas (within a 65km radius) or have family connections within that area. This scholarship was established in 1972 by a bequest to The University of Queensland of approximately $200,000, under the wills of Alfred Percy and Olivea Wynne of Maryborough. The scholarship is available to domestic students enrolled at The University of Queensland at undergraduate, honours, or postgraduate coursework levels across all study areas. The scholarship focuses on supporting students experiencing financial hardship and those from rural or remote communities. The scholarship value, duration, and number of awards may vary. Selection is based on financial need, academic merit, and consideration of any other scholarships or benefits the applicant is entitled to. Preference is given to full-time undergraduate students, followed by part-time internal undergraduate students, and then postgraduate internal students. Applications require supporting documentation including evidence of residence or association with Maryborough, financial statements, and academic transcripts.
