The Women's College Dorothy Marsden Undergraduate Residential Scholarship

The Women's College Dorothy Marsden Undergraduate Residential Scholarship is part of the UQ Residential Scholarships Scheme at The University of Queensland. Established in 2021 by The Women's College in partnership with Alumni Friends under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative, this scholarship supports domestic undergraduate students experiencing financial hardship with the cost of residential fees at The Women's College. The scholarship provides $4,500 towards accommodation fees for one year, though the amount is subject to the annual distribution from the relevant fund and may vary in some years. The scholarship is maintained by income generated from the underlying endowment fund. The number of awards available may vary each year. Eligible applicants must be domestic students enrolled full-time in an approved undergraduate program and be residents at The Women's College. Recipients are selected based on demonstrated financial hardship, strength of interest in community service, and leadership qualities. Applicants cannot already hold a bursary or scholarship from The Women's College. The scholarship is designed to support diversity and address financial barriers to residential college accommodation, enabling students to access the educational and social benefits of living at The Women's College while pursuing their undergraduate studies at the University of Queensland.
