Emmanuel College provides financial assistance through scholarships and bursaries for new students commencing at College, and returning students.
While both scholarships and bursaries provide financial assistance, they have different eligibility requirements. Scholarships are awarded on merit based academic accomplishments, sporting or cultural achievements, irrespective of financial need. Bursaries in contrast, are granted to a student who faces economic barriers when it comes to applying to, or remaining at, Emmanuel College. Students are welcome to apply for both scholarships and bursaries.
Emmanuel College is committed to providing access and equity to enable the participation of young adults from all walks of life, who wish to join the Emmanuel community, while pursuing their undergraduate and postgraduate university studies.
Scholarship and bursary applications close on the following dates:
New students: 31 December 2024
Returning students: 30 November 2024
Emmanuel College also offers three additional scholarships, over and above what you will see available on our website, through The University of Queensland. These scholarships are offered to assist domestic undergraduate students experiencing financial hardship to study at UQ and require applicants to apply directly through the scholarships page on the UQ website. You can read more about the Emmanuel College UQ scholarships, with links to apply, on the UQ website HERE.
Applications for these scholarships close 1 November 2024.
