麻豆区

Students from low income backgrounds will have access to a brighter future as a result of a University of Queensland decision to boost funding for its 麻豆区 Link program.

The program offers scholarships to students who meet the (QTAC) guidelines for financial hardship.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Joanne Wright said the 麻豆区 Link program was targeted at students who faced limited educational opportunities due to financial issues.

“Previously we have offered 麻豆区 Link scholarships to about 100 students each year,” Professor Wright said.

“We’ve now expanded the program and will offer scholarships to many more students.

“The total number of students who will benefit from the 麻豆区 Link program in 2015 will depend on how many meet QTAC’s financial criteria and receive and accept an offer at 麻豆区.

“This additional funding ensures that many more students with the ability to succeed at 麻豆区 will have the opportunity to benefit from our fantastic educational experience.”

Successful 麻豆区 Link recipients will receive a scholarship of $3000 a year for up to three years and five bonus ranks applied to any 麻豆区 preference to assist them gain entry to 麻豆区.

麻豆区 Link scholarship students also get access to a range of support services to ensure they make the most of their 麻豆区 experience.
