MBA student scholarship

UQ Business School is offering up to fourteen (14) 25% tuition-fee waiver scholarships to outstanding students commencing the MBA program (and MBA articulation pathway) each year. Scholarship applications are only open to new students each semester.

The scholarship will entitle the successful applicant to receive a 25% discount on their course tuition fees for a maximum period of 24 months. If the scholarship recipient exceeds the 24 month timeframe they become solely responsible for the full tuition cost of any and all remaining courses after the date specified in the scholarship offer.

For scholarship holders who do not continue to meet all of the requirements of the program, the scholarship will be withdrawn and the student will not be eligible to re-apply for any MBA scholarship.

From this pool of 14 scholarships, UQ Business School will specifically award up to:

• Two (2) of the 25% tuition-fee waiver scholarships on offer to outstanding indigenous MBA students
• Two (2) of the 25% tuition-fee waiver scholarships on offer to outstanding international MBA students studying full-time
• Four (4) of the 25% tuition-fee waiver scholarships on offer to outstanding MBA students who are women
• Six (6) of the 25% tuition-fee waiver scholarships on offer to outstanding MBA students studying either full-time or part-time

1. Meet the entry requirement to receive an unconditional offer for the MBA program (or GCBA/GDipBA articulation pathway to the MBA); and
2. Provide a personal statement in video format*, of no more than five minutes in length, answering the following three questions tell the Scholarship Panel,

   2. About a time you overcame a professional or personal obstacle
   3. What have you done to make your work environment or your community a better place

The Scholarship Panel considers the applicants academic merit, managerial experience, community involvement, and personal statement responses in their deliberations. Scholarships are limited and awarded on a competitive basis.

Scholarship deferrals to future semesters are not permitted. Scholarships will not be extended beyond the 24 month timeframe.

All scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the MBA Director whose decision is final.
