School of Information Systems Honours Scholarship, QUT 2020

The applications will be assessed against the criteria based on:

• The applicant’s previous academic performance, represented by their grade point average (GPA)
• The suitability of their proposed research

• Applicants can apply for this scholarship before knowing the outcome of their application for the Bachelor of Information Technology (Honours), but they must be offered a place in the honours degree and accept it to be eligible to receive the scholarship.
• The grantees must maintain full-time enrolment in the nominated course to maintain eligibility.
• QUT reserves the right to terminate the scholarship after the first semester of offering, if a grantee fails to maintain a minimum GPA of 5 in each semester, and pass all coursework units.
• The value of the scholarship is USD 5,000 and will be paid to the grantee as a study stipend in two equal instalments. The first instalment of USD 2,500 will be paid after census date in Semester 2, 2019 with the second instalment of USD 2,500 paid following the grantee’s confirmed enrolment after census date in Semester 1, 2020.
• Scholarship grantees are required to monitor payments and notify QUT if any over or underpayments occur. If underpayments occur, the balance will be paid to the student immediately. If over-payments occur the scholarship grantee is required to advise QUT immediately and repay the overpaid amount.
• This is a merit-based scholarship. A QUT student is normally only permitted to hold one QUT merit scholarship at any one time. However, students may be eligible to hold a Merit-based Scholarship and an Equity Scholarship concurrently.
