The Destination Australia Scholarships of AUD $15,000 a year are funded by the Australian Government and are available to international students studying at CQUniversity's regional campuses. Our regional campuses in Queensland offer much more than a quality education with their close-knit communities, a truly Australian experience, opportunities to explore iconic natural wonders, and a lower cost of living than capital cities.
