Scholarships for students studying German Language and Culture (LAC)

Language Proficiency Scholarship
A full-time scholarship for study in Germany is available through the Goethe Institute in Sydney. The scholarship is of relevance to USQ students studying to become German Language teachers.
Intensive 4 (weeks)  German course
Two 4-week language proficiency half-scholarships are offered each year as a direct arrangement between the German Language and Cultural Studies discipline at USQ and the Goethe Institute in Goettingen in Germany  for course-participation in December each year. Preference is given to students who are in their second or third year of study towards a major in German Language and Culture (LAC), although all interested USQ German language students are invited to reply to a call for expressions of interest sent by the USQ Lecturer in German Language and Culture in May/June each year. USQ makes a final recommendation of suitable applicants on the basis of merit to the Goethe Institute in Göttingen.

The Elite Editing Thesis Write-up Scholarship provides financial assistance for one postgraduate student per year for a period of 12 weeks to free them from other forms of employment and allow them to concentrate solely on the task of writing their thesis.

For students who do not hold another scholarship, it pays a stipend of $1,000 per fortnight for six fortnights ($6,000 in total), tax free. For students who do hold another scholarship, it pays a stipend of $600 per fortnight for six fortnights ($3,600 in total), tax free.

Students must be enrolled full time in a research degree (Masters or PhD) at an Australian university. Part-time students are eligible to apply for the scholarship only in circumstances where the applicant is able to demonstrate heavy carer commitments or a medical condition that precludes them from studying full time. Students may be either internal or external students. Both international and domestic students are eligible to apply.
