Continuing success at UQ
Support during university
The Young Achievers Program continues to partner with UQ Student Services to help support students in their transition to university. Hosting catch-ups and events for Young Achievers at UQ ensures that students receive access to support programs and activities on offer through the University.
Accommodation partners
In partnership with donors, UQ residential colleges and local student providers, the program has continued to support students to overcome some of the challenges involved in transitioning from high school to university. In 2021, 31 Young Achievers students needing to relocate benefitted from accommodation grants and scholarships.
Bowness Family Foundation scholarships
Four Young Achievers, Jettison Bell (Rochedale State High School), Braydan Bielefeld (Bundaberg North State High School), Juliana Evangelista (Kingaroy State High School) and Amy Heath (Roma State College), were selected for the prestigious Bowness Family Foundation award based on their outstanding academic achievement, demonstrated service leadership and commitment to upholding the values of the program.
