UQ Giving Day 2026 was a success, thanks to you.
We’re so grateful to everyone who supported UQ Giving Day. More than 1,800 donors came together to support 55 important causes across the University, raising over $1 million.
This was all made possible because of you, our generous UQ community. If you made a gift, large or small, or stepped forward as an ambassador to support a cause you are passionate about – thank you for being a ChangeMaker.
Thanks to the generous support of donors to the UQ Young Achievers Scholarship, Izzy and Jamaica were able to move to Brisbane from Kingaroy where they are embracing university life and working towards their dream careers. Their story is a reminder of what’s possible when the UQ community comes together to support the next generation.
“If I’m really honest, if I didn’t receive scholarship support, I don’t think I would’ve gone to university. It wouldn’t have been an option at this stage in my life. Thank you for believing in students like me.”

“The fact that donors have recognised that we are worth supporting, it influences us to keep going with university – we are doing this for them too.”
