How to apply

Applications for 2020 have now closed.

IMPORTANT: Applying for a place at QUT
To receive the scholarship, you must gain a place in an internal, undergraduate degree at QUT for Semester 1, 2020. This is a separate process. You will need to meet the minimum entry requirements for your chosen degree, including the English language requirement.

If you completed an Australian year 12 program in 2019, apply through QTAC. If you are having difficulty paying the application fee, please contact the Equity Scholarships team.

If you did not complete an Australian year 12 program in 2019, apply directly to QUT. Use the ‘Application for Admission to QUT as an International Student’ (F) form. There is usually a $100 fee, but this will be waived if you provide evidence of your visa status with your admission application and indicate that you are applying for the QUT Asylum Seeker Tuition Fee Scholarship. Please submit your admission application form to qut.intadmission@qut.edu.au.
