In a game changer for Queensland school leavers, the University of Southern Queensland is introducing new automatic scholarships for all students with OPs from 1-8.
School leavers who achieve an OP of 1-2/ATAR 97.5 will automatically receive a scholarship package valued up to $29,000, including an optional study abroad package and leadership development.
Students with an OP 6/ATAR 90 or above will be awarded a scholarship package valued up to $20,000.
And students with an OP8/ATAR 85 or above will be awarded up to $6,000.
USQ Vice-Chancellor Professor Geraldine Mackenzie says it's a decisive move to help keep our young people in the regions, and attract students from capital cities to study at USQ.
