The UQ Internship Grants is awarded to enable as many UQ students as possible to enhance their employability through a supported* enrichment experience. Funding will prioritise students from underrepresented groups who have never undertaken an enrichment experience.
Grants are based on the availability of funding and will vary depending on duration, experience mode and location of the activity.
Funding is awarded by a selection committee with the following criteria being taken into consideration:
- Students from underrepresented groups (students who are First Nations, low SES background, from regional and remote areas and students with disabilities)
- No other grants or scholarships have been awarded either by UQ or external parties for the same experience
- Enrolled in My Career Adviser or Employability Award
To be considered for funding, you must:
- Have been accepted into an internship supported* by the Internships Team
- No funding will be allocated to students undertaking virtual experiences including Practera.
- No grants will be paid to students who have been awarded a grant offered by but not limited to NCP, Westpac, UQ faculties and host institutions.
Internships Grant Values
Please note that funding is not guaranteed even if all selection criteria are met. Funding should therefore not be a factor when developing your budget.
