The Tertiary Education Bursary Program was started in October 2010 to help financially needy students from the Central Queensland region achieve their academic goals. Currently the amount of the annual Bursary is up to $12,500 per year for each year of the student’s course, and is paid subject to guidelines that are explained in the Bursary Application Guidelines which MUST be read prior to an application being submitted.
To date 61 students have received a Bursary to assist them in completing their Bachelor Degrees with over $1.34mill worth of funding provided by the Foundation. Students attending CQU Rockhampton will have priority, however students attending other Universities will be considered in special circumstances at the discretion of the Board.
Although the majority of Bursaries are awarded to first year students, those who are in their second or third year may also apply as long as they fit the criteria in the Bursary Guidelines. A Bursary may be awarded in the second semester of a year if the Board approves, but the amount of the Bursary will be reduced accordingly.
Students MUST read the Bursary Application Guidelines carefully to ensure that they are eligible to apply for a Bursary.

If deemed eligible, students will be asked to attend an interview with members of the Bursary sub-committee, after which they will be notified if they have been successful or not.
The Application Form is to be sent to the Foundation office.
