Venerable Archdeacon Edward Leo Hayes Adult Undergraduate Scholarship

The Venerable Archdeacon Edward Leo Hayes Adult Undergraduate Scholarship provides financial support to adult students aged 25 or older who are enrolling in undergraduate programs at the University of Queensland. The scholarship awards $3,000 per year for the duration of the program taken full-time. Selection is based on demonstrated financial hardship, academic achievement, and other relevant evidence. Preference is given to students who have lived or worked in the Darling Downs area for at least 12 months. The scholarship was founded in 1967 by the University Senate in recognition of the Venerable Archdeacon Edward Leo Hayes' lifelong work in the study and preservation of books and materials in the field of Australian culture, and his donation of his entire collection to the University. One scholarship is awarded annually to support adult learners pursuing undergraduate education.
