USQ Residential College Scholarship 2021

In Semester 1 2021, USQ will award a number of Residential College Scholarships to support students residing at USQ Residential Colleges in Toowoomba either commencing or continuing an undergraduate program.

Each scholarship is for a maximum of one year and is to be used towards semester accommodation at the USQ Residential Colleges, Toowoomba campus. The scholarship does not include the semester vacation periods or short-term accommodation.

Other 2021 financial supports:

In 2021 all students living at USQ Residential Colleges will be guaranteed a scholarship with three on offer. You can find out more about the International Accommodation Scholarship here, and details about our new $2,000 Residential Colleges Student Support Scholarship here.

If you're one of the first 300 students to live on-campus you will receive a Welcome Pack of your choice up to the value of $1,300 each.
