QR Scholarships

QR offers scholarships to students who demonstrate outstanding commitment to excellence in their chosen field of study.

Accepting a QR Scholarship will mean you receive $7000 per semester to spend on university fees, text books, rent, or even a holiday - it's your choice!

You will receive guaranteed paid vacation work in Queensland, progressive career development and training, the use of first-class technology and systems, and guaranteed employment on completion of your degree.

What do we offer?

If you are a successful applicant studying an approved four-year undergraduate engineering degree, QR offer you the following benefits:

• Payments of $7,000.00 per semester; 
• Guaranteed paid vacation work;
• One free Traveltrain trip within QLD per year (up to $500.00 value);
• Guaranteed employment at completion of your degree.

• An Australian Citizen/Permanent Resident with appropriate entitlements to work;
• Enrolled in a recognised undergraduate university course within the required disciplines (see disciplines below);
• Achieving a minimum grade point average of 4.5.                

What disciplines are we seeking under the QR Scholarship program?

QR is seeking Engineering students who are enrolled in a four-year degree in one of the following disciplines:

• Civil
• Mechanical
• Electrical

Will I be required to work for QR after I complete my degree?

Yes.  By choosing to take on a QR Scholarship, you will be accepting the employment terms outlined in your Scholarship Program.  The employment conditions will come into effect on the successful completion of your degree and require you to work full-time for QR for a period equal to one and a half times the length of your scholarship (e.g. 1 year scholarship = 1.5 years employment; maximum of three years).

Anything else?

As a scholarship holder, you will be invited to networking and social functions to meet QR staff and graduates.  You will be provided with two dedicated QR contacts, our Graduate Development Coordinator and Scholarship Liaison Officer, who are part of the Graduate Executive and Graduate Leadership Teams.  They will keep you up-to-date with graduate newsletters and major business announcements so you know what's going on while you study.
