Female Indigenous students enrolled full-time or part-time in any UniSC undergraduate degree
Graduate Women Queensland Inc Sunshine Coast Branch (GWQ SC) aim to promote the advancement of women through education and provide significant and long-standing support for UniSC students through a range of bursaries. In 2019, GWQ SC have generously offered support to Indigenous female students at UniSC through funds provided by the sale of paintings by GWQ SC member, Sally Chandler, who was inspired by a trip to Central Australia.
GWQ SC shall donate funds to support female Indigenous undergraduate students in financial need. Student recipients will receive the bursary funds as a lump-sum following enrolment checks after Census date in the relevant study period.
