To keep your scholarship, you must:

• complete your study at QUT
• remain studying full-time, unless under exceptional circumstances. Exceptional circumstances include:
  • caring responsibilities for a child
  • caring responsibilities for school-aged children with limited access to outside support
  • caring responsibilities for an invalid or disabled spouse, child, or parent
  • a medical condition, supported by a medical certificate, which limits your ability to study full-time
• make satisfactory progress in your studies.

You can't:

• hold another scholarship that is worth more than 75% of the Women's Re-entry Scholarship.

Your scholarship will be tax-free if you're studying full-time. If you're studying part-time, your scholarship can be taxed.

We support women who have experienced a significant interruption to their academic career to update their research credentials through doctoral study. One Women's Re-entry Scholarship is usually offered in the annual scholarship round.
