10.01.2022 Our Scholarship has benefited from this Create Change initiative, Read more In this post from UQ today. The Create Change Scholarship match is coming to a close at the end of 2020. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the match has established 81 scholarship funds which could create over 130 scholarships for UQ.... All donations over $50,000 are eligible for the match. Jennifer Karlson, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Advancement) at UQ said, To create a new endowment scholarship traditionally would be $100,000, which is obviously out of reach for most people. The matching brings it down to $50,000 as a minimum, still an incredible investment that people can make over a period of time, which then makes it a lot more manageable.
