The Queensland Government is offering the Supporting Women Scholarships to women of all ages and at all stages of their working life. The Scholarships provide financial support to assist women to take up study at Queensland university and, ultimately, employment in fields which are male dominated and where there are skills needs. Each scholarship is valued at $5,000 per annum (or part time equivalent) for the length of the qualification up to a maximum of $20,000.
With a focus on boosting support for women in non-traditional fields and skills shortage areas, the program provides scholarships for qualifications in the following fields of study:
- Agricultural and Environmental studies
