Relatable Questions and answers about USQ Scholarship

What if I’m offered more than one scholarship?

In general students can receive more than one scholarship, however if they hold another USQ awarded scholarship, this may be taken into consideration in the selection process.

There are scholarships that cannot be held together.  Students can only hold one of the following scholarships at a time:

• USQ Equity Scholarship
• USQ KickStart/KickOn Bursary
• ISSP Education Costs Scholarship

If a student is successful for two scholarships that cannot be held together, they will only be offered the higher value scholarship.  We encourage you to apply for every scholarship you believe you are eligible for.
