value of scholarship
Value of scholarship
The study load determines the scholarship value that may be awarded. For the 2025 scholarship period up to $1250 per unit/subject is available, with a maximum scholarship value capped at $6250 per individual, per identified calendar year.
NOTE: If you are claiming for the 2024 scholarship period the amount will be as per described in your letter of offer.
Important factors in determining value:
- The scholarship value is for tuition fees only (administration fees, textbooks and other costs are not included). Limited to tuition fees paid in full including tuition fees deferred to the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP).
- Scholarships are awarded for one calendar year only:
- those continuing study must reapply for subsequent year/s of study - recurrent scholarships are not guaranteed.
- Units/subjects that run over multiple semesters/trimesters or double credit points are paid as a single subject.
- The intended units/subjects must be identified in the application and will determine the number of units/subjects claimed (additional subjects that may be undertaken but not identified in the application, cannot be claimed).
- Unit/subject must be successfully completed (passing grade minimum) in order to be claimed.
- Claims for each semester must be finalised within 60 days of results being issued. Late claims will not be processed.
Important: The post graduate scholarship reimbursement is a fringe benefit and may be subject to Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT). Please refer to the Queensland Health Finance practise statement Self-education and FBT.
