About Student-Staff Partnership Projects
Student-Staff Partnership Projects aim to create a cultural transformation at UQ whereby students and staff connect as equal partners and collaborators on projects that seek to enhance the UQ community. This program seeks to empower Student and Staff Partners to effect positive change within the teaching and learning, student experience and governance/strategy environments.

Student partners receive their first grant instalment.
During your Project
Collaborate on your project and participate in our (optional) community events and/or professional development opportunities.

The program is open to:
- All currently enrolled UQ students (including Domestic and International students, all program levels, and all faculties).
