What is the UQ-Link Access Program?

The UQ-Link Access Program is a special admissions scheme aimed at assisting students who have experienced educational disadvantage caused by financial hardship, to gain entry to UQ.

What are the benefits of the UQ-Link Access Program?

  • All approved applicants receive five bonus points* (equates to between 2-3 OPs) towards their admission to study undergraduate programs at UQ. The number of bonus points that a student can receive under any scheme (including the UQ Bonus Rank Scheme) is capped at five
  • $500 Start-Up Bursary to help fund up-front education costs (such as text books)
  • Access to a range of support services, including transition programs such as Jump Start
  • Opportunity to be considered for a UQ-Link Access Scholarship valued at $3,000 per year for up to four years. Priority is given to participants of The Smith Family's Learning for Life program.

*Note: Queensland school leavers should note that bonus points are not OPs rather they are ranks.
