School leaver scholarships

The University of Southern Queensland is pleased to announce a number of exciting new innovations to our academic merit scholarships program for 2021.

No application process

If you have placed your USQ chosen course as your first preference via QTAC, there is no need to apply for academic merit scholarships. The scholarships will be automatically awarded to 2020 school leavers achieving the ATAR as outlined, and who commence full-time study in Semester 1 in any Bachelor degree program in 2021.

All Bachelor programs are eligible

At USQ, we are about people following their dreams. We haven’t restricted the scholarships to any one area of study. You are free to choose what you want to be. Studying on-campus at either Toowoomba, Ipswich or Springfield.

Just another good reason to choose Australia’s number one University for graduate starting salary and Queensland’s number one university for graduates obtaining full time work.†
