Description

The purpose of the Top-Up Scholarship is to encourage and support Australian Indigenous PhD students to undertake research at the Schools of Economics at The University of Queensland.

School of Economics

The School of Economics at The University of Queensland (UQ) strives for academic excellence in everything we do. By leveraging on and extending our strengths in economics research and education, we seek to be leaders in addressing the big challenges that are faced globally by private and public sector organisations.

We want to empower our students to be the adaptable, game changing and global leaders and citizens of the future, bearing their education and employability at the forefront. We support innovative thinking in research and education. We have a social responsibility by which we see the benefits of combining outstanding research and education with delivering impact of benefit to public sector, corporate, non-profit partners and the broader community locally and globally.
