Rural health scholarships
Organised by The University of QueenslandRural Health Scholarships provide much needed financial assistance to regional and rural medical students, easing study and living costs for our future doctors.
Story
Support for students in financial need
Financial circumstances should no longer be a barrier to studying medicine at UQ. Our vision is to be able to provide financial support to all students who need it.
Our Rural Health Scholarships provide financial support for students who are based rurally and interested in pursuing rural medicine.
Thanks to incredible donor support, we were able to establish and award the inaugural Rockhampton Rural Health Scholarship in 2022. In 2024, we will establish and award these scholarships in Toowoomba and Bundaberg, and continue fundraising for rural medical students in Hervey Bay.
Building Queensland's rural workforce
Our Rural Clinical School provides exceptional medical education and opportunities for students across the four Regional Clinical Units in Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, Rockhampton and Toowoomba.
