Help us on our mission to break down barriers facing Queenslanders aspiring to study at UQ.

Financial and geographical barriers to education can mean the difference between a student pursuing university or not.

The Queensland Commitment is our pledge of support and opportunity for all Queensland students – minimising the barriers they face to attaining a tertiary education. We will do this by increasing our community presence and partnerships, widening opportunities for entry, enhancing scholarships, embedding equity in teaching and learning, and providing appropriate support to foster success for all students.

By donating to The Queensland Commitment, you’ll be helping students like Almira, who receives a residential scholarship at UQ’s Kev Carmody House in addition to mentorship, academic and financial support through the Young Achievers Program (YAP) – one of key initiatives The Queensland Commitment supports.

Almira is from rural Queensland and is the first in her family to attend university.

“Without scholarship support, I would not have been able to come to UQ. I was worried about having to figure out how to travel between my home and university, or how to afford accommodation on campus. When I found out I’d be receiving the scholarship, along with a room on campus, I felt like I was one step closer to achieving my goals,” Almira said.

Every gift is meaningful

Your gift opens doors for Queensland students like Almira, who knows firsthand what the support can help achieve. 

“I hope to be a primary school teacher. I want to make a difference in young people’s lives and set them up for future success like how the YAP Scholarship has helped me,” Almira said.

“Receiving a scholarship may be the make-or-break for someone considering attending university or trying to continue their studies. No matter how much you donate, each dollar counts. One’s future becomes clearer without financial obstacles.”

Join us this UQ Giving Day and help more Queensland students like Almira make a UQ education a reality.
