Apply for a scholarship or bursary

We want to make an Emmanuel College residency available to the most outstanding students, regardless of the financial means of their families, and to bring in students from diverse backgrounds around Australia and around the world. 

Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit. For your scholarship to continue from semester to semester, you need to maintain high academic achievement. Bursaries are awarded on the basis of need and sound academic achievement. If you’re seeking a bursary, you’ll need to provide evidence of financial hardship.

Most scholarships and bursaries are offered as a remission of College fees.

You can apply for either a scholarship or a bursary or for consideration in both categories. You can apply for more than one scholarship at a time.

Respectful Relationships

All members of the College Community having a right to live, study and work in an environment where they feel safe, supported and respected;

  • Promoting and fostering an environment in which people are treated fairly and with respect;
  • Provide training and education to support healthy development and wellbeing for our students that builds and deepens respect for themselves and respect for others;
  • Deliver safe and supportive reporting options when a breach to our Policy and Code of Conduct has occurred.

Culture of respect

Respect — including self-respect — is fundamental to everything we do. We talk about respect often and use every opportunity to demonstrate and support respectful behaviours. Our staff and student leaders are trained to support all our students to develop a strong sense of personal identity and boundaries.

We cultivate respectful relationships from the start — in our initial interviews with prospective students and the first time residents meet as a group during Orientation Week. We focus on providing an informative and nurturing Orientation Week experience for new students that encourages them to build healthy relationships.

College student leaders provide support and guidance through Orientation Week and subsequent university milestones. Our staff mentor student leaders to be positive role models and to identify and call out unacceptable behaviour. Among all our residents we foster a culture of care for each other’s physical and mental wellbeing.

Through ongoing educational programs, we promote a culture of gender equality that supports all students to understand and accept the link between gender equality and respectful relationships. We regularly host guest speakers who are experts in areas such as consent, positive relationships, and respect for sexual diversity and identity.

 

Safe environment

To provide a safe place in which to navigate the transition from adolescence to adulthood, we:

  • Cultivate a positive environment with a focus on respectful relationships and prevention of any kind of abuse and harassment;
  • Respond quickly, empathically and decisively when situations occur;
  • Clearly communicate reporting procedures and highlight the many support services available to students at the College, at UQ and in the broader community;
  • Operate a policy of zero tolerance of any serious misconduct;
  • Make sure all students complete a compulsory online course on the topic of consent and attend sessions with senior College staff on understanding sexual consent;
  • Continue to review and refine our approach.

Reporting and responding

If an incident occurs, we will inform students of all their reporting options and give our full support if they choose to file a police report or engage external help or advice.

We thoroughly investigate all complaints. Students who transgress the College’s values and policies will be required to leave.

We provide professional on-site support for student safety and wellbeing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The College’s counsellors are trained first responders to sexual misconduct and are available to support students at any time. We provide counselling to minimise the risk of issues escalating and to make sure students get the support they need.

We have initiated a new College-wide survey to gather feedback from students each year about the culture of the College — what’s working well and what we can do better.
