The Women's College Jill Fittock Harrison Residential Scholarship

The Women's College Jill Fittock Harrison Residential Scholarship is part of the UQ Residential Scholarships Scheme. Established in 2022 under the Create Change Scholarship Initiative by The Women's College, the scholarship honors the memory of Jill Fittock Harrison, an alumna of The Women's College (1946-1948) and former Student Club President (1948). This scholarship provides financial support towards accommodation fees for domestic students experiencing financial hardship who are residents at The Women's College at the University of Queensland. The scholarship is maintained by income generated from the underlying endowment fund. The scholarship provides $4,500 (subject to the annual distribution from the relevant fund and may be more or less in some years) towards accommodation fees for one year. Preference is given to applicants who are from Regional, Rural or Remote areas of Queensland. Applicants must be enrolled full-time in an Approved Program and cannot be holding another bursary or scholarship from The Women's College. Applicants need to demonstrate financial hardship by providing documentary evidence such as Centrelink statements, ATO statements, or family income documentation. The scholarship is open to both future and current UQ students at the undergraduate level across all study areas.
