LEAD Scholarships


Students who experience difficult circumstances or setbacks during their schooling can now apply for UQ's Leadership, Excellence and Diversity (LEAD) Scholarship. Previously, this scholarship has only been available to those students enrolled in an Australian State High School. This year, we are pleased to extend this opportunity to students from all schools across Australia.

Each LEAD Scholarship offers financial assistance of $8000 per year for up to five years, a dedicated academic mentor, a support network through non-residential membership of a UQ college and priority access to valuable internship and career planning assistance.

Applications for the LEAD Scholarship close on 15 November 2019.


The Liveris Academy Undergraduate Scholarship


The Liveris Academy Undergraduate Scholarship was established in 2019 by global business leader Andrew N. Liveris and his wife Paula Liveris, who generously donated $13.5 million to the University of Queensland to help establish the Andrew N. Liveris Academy for Innovation and Leadership in the University's Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology.

The purpose of the Scholarship is to encourage and support outstanding students in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) or in the integrated Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Master of Engineering program at The University of Queensland, who have the potential to lead solutions to some of the world's most pressing sustainability challenges.

The scholarship offers financial assistance of $10,000 per annum for up to 6 years. Recipients may also receive up to $10,000 travel support from the Liveris Academy for an approved Gap Semester, exchange or internship opportunities.
