HOW THE QUT & CEFA PARTNERSHIP WORKS FOR CEFA STUDENTS

QUT's commitment to helping greater numbers of rural youth achieve their tertiary goals is demonstrated by their Education Partnership with CEFA.

To support those rural students who receive grants from their local education foundations, QUTprovides additional financial assistance.

Eligiblity for co-funding from QUT is based on the following criteria:

• Co-funding is only available to students who have received grants from their local Education Foundations and who are currently studying at QUT
• First year students will be given co-funding priority. Any funds remaining after the distribution to first year students will be distributed among students in second, third and fourth year studies.
• Students will receive a dollar-for-dollar grant match unless the total of the grants of all CEFA students at QUT in a particular year is greater than QUT's annual allocation. If the annual limit is exceeded, CEFA will pro-rata the grants and cap co-funding at $1,500.

QUT's assistance for all rural students

QUT has a strong commitment to providing students from all walks of life the opportunity to engage in university. As such, QUT offers a broad range of scholarships and student support services which allow students to thrive and succeed in their studies.

Scholarship programs, bursaries, prizes and awards vary in terms of eligibility criteria - some are based on academic merit, others on socio-economic background, sports or cultural achievements or level of study being undertaken.

Of particular interest to students from rural backgrounds are:

• The QUT Equity Scholarships Scheme (for students from low-income backgrounds)
• The Q-Step Program
• Indigenous Scholarships
• The Vice-Chancellor's Scholarships
• QUT's Scholarships Section
