What is the UQ-Link program?

The UQ-Link program is a special entry scholarship and support scheme which provides equitable access to higher education for people who have experienced educational disadvantage as a result of financial hardship.

The UQ-Link Special Entry Scheme enables the University to consider current school-leavers for special admission on the basis of their UQ-Link application if they do not reach the required OP/Entry Rank for their preferred program.

Eligible UQ-Link applicants, who receive a place at UQ, are also considered for a UQ-Link Scholarship. The UQ-Link Scholarships are valued at $3000 per year for up to four years. No separate application form is required.

Once enrolled, UQ-Link students automatically receive a start-up bursary of $500 to help fund up-front education costs (such as text books), and have access to an extensive range of support services including transition advice and ongoing support from Student Services.

Note: The due date for UQ-Link applications for 2010 is Friday 30 October 2009. Late applications may be accepted.
