What is equity?

Widening participation

Equity scholarships

Our Equity scholarships provide $2.5 million each year to support students from low-income, rural and remote, or socially disadvantaged backgrounds. In 2012, QUT's Equity Scholarships Scheme will continue to provide scholarships, bursaries and free computers to low-income students - including those not eligible for Commonwealth Scholarships.

To be eligible you must be:

  • from a low-income background
  • experiencing financial hardship.

We also take personal hardship into consideration when we assess applications. This includes: 

  • personal medical conditions
  • disabilities
  • dependants with special needs.

Applications for Semester 2, 2012 are now open.

Need a computer?

As part of the Equity Scholarships Scheme, we provide approved students with a reconditioned personal computer.
