ICT Enabling Scholarships

In view of a growing shortage of ICT graduates, The University of Queensland and its industry partners are continuing an initiative begun in 2007 to encourage and enable school-leavers to join UQ programs leading to careers in the ICT industry.

Applications for the 2012 round are now closed. The 2013 round is going to open in July 2012 and will close in January 2013.

Eligibility

ICT Enabling Scholarships, to the value of $3,000 each, are awarded to students based on their year 12 results or overseas equivalent. To be eligible to apply for an ICT Enabling Scholarship you must be applying for a place in one of the following degrees:

Bachelor of Information Technology
Bachelor of Multimedia Design
Bachelor of Engineering (Software or Electrical & Computer Engineering)

If you are applying for a dual-degree which includes one of these degrees, you can still apply for an ICT Enabling Scholarship. Scholarships will be awarded based on OP score or equivalent. In 2011, scholarships were awarded to applicants with an OP3 or better.

The detailed scholarship rules are available here.
