If you're interested in a Creative Industries course that isn't eligible for this scholarship, you may be eligible for the QUT Excellence Scholarship (Academic) instead.

How to apply

There is no specific scholarship application process needed to be considered for this scholarship. All students who apply for an eligible course will be considered. You must complete a QTAC application and the individual audition or portfolio based requirements as listed on each course page.

What happens next?

Scholarship recipients will be chosen from the pool of eligible creative industries applicants. If you're successful, you will receive a scholarship offer in line with your offer for your course. Students who are applying for a double degree may receive a scholarship offer later than those applying for a single degree due to the additional academic requirements needed for these courses.
