“It’s taken such a big weight off my and my family’s shoulders and, because of it, I was lucky enough to have the chance to stay for a third year.”
Residential Scholarships
Emmanuel College Residential Scholarships offer financial support to help cover accommodation costs and make the transition to university and college life in Brisbane possible.
Funded through the generosity of donors over many years, our Residential Scholarships are full-fee and part-fee scholarships enabling students experiencing financial hardship to access the benefits of college life.
With a focus on students from low socio-economic backgrounds, rural, regional and remote communities, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, these scholarships help reduce barriers and create pathways to success.
Emmanuel College Residential Scholarships are co-administered by Emmanuel College and The University of Queensland.
