Scholarships and Bursaries
Rewarding future residents
St Leo’s scholarships are for sporting, cultural, academic and music excellence and our equity bursaries are to assist those residents who, but for the support of the College, wouldn’t be able to live at St Leo’s.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Be a current Year 12 student, matriculation year secondary student or gap year student
- Be an Australian citizen, New Zealand citizen, Australian permanent resident, hold an Australian permanent humanitarian visa
- Be relocating from his permanent home address in order to attend university
- Have completed an application for residency at St Leo’s College
- Be studying at UQ to be eligible for certain scholarships, however other scholarships are open to students from QUT, CQU, ACU, USQ or Griffith Universities
All current St Leo’s scholarships and bursaries are conferred at entry into First Year. A healthy proportion of new residents receive some form of scholarship.
